The primary objective of the report was to provide reservoir managers with technical and economic information regarding the possible methods for controlling the levels of MTBE and BTEX in reservoir water supplies. This report comprehensively evaluates options to give practical data and advice to water managers who wish to consider the benefits of dual use (use to store drinking water supplies and use as recreational attractions) without introducing unacceptable health risks into the water bodies being managed.

This collaborative research project was undertaken to provide practical advice to water utilities considering the benefits of using lakes and/or reservoirs for both recreational and drinking water purposes, without introducing unacceptable health risks into the water resource from Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) or other fuel related contaminants. The guidance provided in this document is applicable to all water utilities and water management agencies with large surface water storage facilities that currently allow recreational boating or are considering their use on the surface water storage facilities in the future.
Written for the lake user, this third edition testifies to the success and the leadership of EPA's Clean Lakes Program.
In 1997, New York City adopted a mammoth watershed agreement to protect its drinking water and avoid filtration of its large upstate surface water supply. Shortly thereafter, the NRC began an analysis of the agreement's scientific validity. The resulting book finds New York City's watershed agreement to be a good template for proactive watershed management that, if properly implemented, will maintain high water quality. However, it cautions that the agreement is not a guarantee of permanent filtration avoidance because of changing regulations, uncertainties regarding pollution sources, advances in treatment technologies, and natural variations in watershed conditions. The book recommends that New York City place its highest priority on pathogenic microorganisms in the watershed and direct its resources toward improving methods for detecting pathogens, understanding pathogen transport and fate, and demonstrating that best management practices will remove pathogens. Other recommendations, which are broadly applicable to surface water supplies across the country, target buffer zones, stormwater management, water quality monitoring, and effluent trading.
