Benefits to the Drinking Water Supply Community:
This project will provide utilities with a better understanding of the sources, occurrence, and composition of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and information on DON analytical methods and equipment suppliers. The potential development of DON surrogates would also be very helpful to water utilities.
