Blue Green Algae, Grafham Water
A lot of long and complex articles are available on what is a recurring seasonal problem, but this piece from "Drovers" a farming website, is probably about as technical as we probably need to get.
"Blue green algae blooms are an issue that usually gets discussed this time of year. Calm, sunny, dry, and hot days of summer create ideal conditions for blue green algae to thrive in our livestock ponds. Blue green algae occurrence is sporadic making its threat unpredictable. Despite its name, these blooms are not algae, but a cyanobacteria. Some of these cyanobacteria produce and release dangerous toxins that are of major concern for our livestock."
Fortunately, standard water treatment procedures remove any threat from our drinking water.
