Nuisance cyanobacterial blooms are an important environmental problem. Toxins released by cyanobacteria can kill animals and cause illness in humans. The sustainable manage ment of toxic cyanobacteria would increase the conservation and amenity value of affected water bodies, and decrease on-site water treatment costs. Methods are available to kill or to prevent blooms but often the expense is prohibitive or the agent used is detrimental to desirable lake organisms. Different management strategies are therefore considered within the context of the current state of the UK water industry. Particular reference is made to the potential impact of the 1994 Ofwat-determined water-price increase limits on environmental policy and prioritization.

Key Words: environmental management • water • blue-green algae • pollution.
