Enrichment and recovery of a Malaysian reservoir

Subang reservoir was originally oligotrophic. Due to continuous heavy nutrient loading, especially of N, P, K and organic matter from a nearby polluted auxiliary riverine intake source, the reservoir becomes progressively eutrophic. An increase in the total ionic content and a decrease in NO3 occurs...

An increase in the total ionic content and a decrease in NO3 occurs, while PO4 and NH3 content fluctuates.
