Drinking water treatability is defined by multiple parameters that are strongly impacted by climatic and anthropogenic drivers. Working in a shallow reservoir in the Canadian Prairies, generalized additive models (GAMs) were applied to a 33-year dataset to identify drivers of interannual variability in multiple indicators of drinking water treatability. I ...
