[Algae in the dam reservoirs used for drinking-water production in Morocco]

ABSTRACT

As part of the study of water quality of dam reservoirs used for drinking-water production, the Water Quality Laboratory of the National Office for Drinking Water in Morocco prepared a micrographic atlas of the main species of planktonic algae found in 22 reservoirs over a period of 25 years. The atlas includes 321 micrographs representing 156 taxons with an indication of the sample location and an enlargement ratio for each micrograph. In some cases, information is also provided on algae associations, algal counts and monthly occurrence
