During development of the draft Disinfectants-Disinfection Byproducts (D-DBP) Rule, the issue of watershed management for DBP precursor control was discussed but not included in the rule. This article focuses on a major California watershed, describing examples of the types of studies that utilities can use to determine precursor sources and develop solutions for control. In addition, a chlorination and ozonation study of a five-by-five matrix of total organic carbon and bromide levels--which spanned a wide range of concentrations that can be expected in many US waters--provided insights into the effects of organic and inorganic precursors and disinfectants in DBP formation. Includes 25 references, tables, figures.
