A new algal bloom has invaded Austin’s Lade Bird Lake killing four dogs and affecting recreational activities and could potentially affect our drinking water. Our guest, Dr. Brent Bellinger, Senior Environmental Scientist with the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department explains the issue, and how we can be mindful of it and be safe. He also gives us an update on the invasive zebra mussels that have now affected all the Hill Country’s Highland Lakes and most of the lower Colorado River below Longhorn Dam.
