Abstract:In many rural areas, lakes and reservoirs represent common sources for drinking water, but these water bodies are more likely affected by taste and odor (T&O) problems that cause discomfort to consumers. T&O compounds, especially 2-methylisobornol (2-MIB) and geosmin (GSM), are not easily removed using conventional water treatment processes, and this problem is exacerbated in rural areas where treatment systems are often sparser, modest, and outdated compared to typical urban water sources. Herein, a combined … Show more
