Physico-Chemicals and Plankton Composition of Ajiwa Reservoir

Reservoirs constitute important ecosystem and food resources for a diverse array of aquatic life. Reservoir ecosystems are fragile and can undergo rapid environmental changes, often leading to significant declines in their aesthetic, recreational and aquatic ecosystem functions. Human activities can further accelerate the rate of changes; if the causes of the changes are known, human intervention (management practices) sometimes can control or even reverse detrimental changes.
