This guide was developed to facilitate identification of dominant algae in the CAP/SRP/Phoenix water supply and treatment systems by water utility personnel. Specific emphasis was placed on the culprit taste and odor-producing organisms.

The Interactive Taxonomic Guide was designed and authored and photomicrographs taken by Thomas A. Dempster.
