Highlights

  • Hydraulic retention time (HRT) increase can trigger 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) episodes

  • MIB-producing Planktothricoides can be restricted by reducing HRT to <10 days

  • Critical HRTs were evaluated for 14 cyanobacterial genera based on a theoretical model

  • HRT regulation was successfully applied for MIB control in ZXD Reservoir
