In the early 70ies, water in lakes and streams in Sweden was generally clean enough for minimal water treatment to be considered sufficient. The situation was altered by the introduction of novel organisms, e.g., Cryptosporidium and Giardia, into Swedish waters. Since the year 2000, these unicellular parasites are inherent to several surface waters in Sweden. […]
