Rainfall-driven shifts in disinfection byproduct precursors in eutrophic lakes: From algal to terrestrial sources

Key Points

• Disinfection byproduct precursors shift from algal to terrestrial sources with rainfall.
• Seasonal changes impact water quality, potentially affecting human consumption.
• Observational analysis across eutrophic lakes highlights the role of rainfall in altering sources.
• Understanding these shifts is crucial for managing water treatment and safety, requiring further study.
