It’s been great having the Müller lab working up at #turkeylakeswatershed the past few years! There are so many different ecosystem components that can be studied here and Algae is just one example🤩

Happy #WorldAlgaeDay! Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are single celled #algae.
**How many cyanobacteria genera can you spot?**
#forWaterHQP in the Müller lab at @WaterlooBio study how cyanobacterial communities impact #drinkingwater reservoirs in a changing climate.

As wildfires increase in intensity and duration, more water quality and our ability to treat water will be under threat.
forWater researchers are focused on understanding strategies that can help impacted communities build resilience.
