Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Copper sulfate is often used to control the growth of cyanobacteria and algae in water reservoirs as it effectively inhibits their growth. Iodine is not typically used for this purpose, and propionic and lactic acids are more commonly used as food preservatives. Antibiotics are not typically used in water treatment as they can contribute to antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
