> Session 18. Human health risks associated with recreational activities 
> and drinking water quality
>
> With over 600 recreational beaches in the Basin and over 40 million 
> Americans and Canadians relying on the waters of the Great Lakes as 
> their primary source of drinking water, understanding and predicting 
> human health risks associated with exposure or consumption of 
> contaminated water requires an integrated multidisciplinary scientific 
> approach. Ecosystem forecasting can mediate this problem by enabling 
> beach managers, water quality experts, public health policy makers to 
> provide the public with accurate predictions of when and where 
> waterborne microbial pathogens and toxins could affect human health. 
> This session will bring together researchers developing tools to 
> predict and reduce human health impacts associated with beach 
> contamination, harmful algal blooms, and drinking water quality in the 
> Great Lakes.
