“…The physiochemical analysis results of the dam water and filtered water of dam samples were compared with the WHO, PSQCA, US EPA, NSDWQ (2010) drinking water specification. The results of present study are in accordance with previous reports as the WQI of the water reservoirs gets lowered due to pollution sources and anthropogenic activities from surrounding areas (Saeed and Hashmi, 2014;Khalil et al, 2020) as in case of Rawal lake reported previously in different studies (Ghumman,2011;Toor et al, 2013). It was reported that quality of water was comparatively better in pre-monsoon season in Rawal lake and other water reservoirs (Edwards and Withers, 2008).…”

“…Water quality is of great importance due to its impact on human health and aquatic systems (Iqbal et al, 2019). Anthropogenic influences and activities lead to detrimental effects on water (Azizullah et al, 2011;Saeed and Hashmi, 2014;Iqbal et al, 2020;Khalil et al, 2020;Rahman et al, 2020). The release of domestic and industrial wastes contaminates the rivers and water reservoirs.…”

Water quality is of great importance due to its impact on human health and aquatic systems. Since Islamabadand Rawalpindi get their drinking water from Simly dam, this makes it an important drinking water source. In thisstudy water quality parameters of Simly dam were determined and water quality index (WQI) using Arithmeticweighted method was calculated. Collection of water samples from different locations of dam and the filtration plantinstalled in the facility was done. Twelve physicochemical parameters of water quality including: pH, ElectricalConductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), alkalinity, hardness, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), DissolvedOxygen (DO), Total Chloride, Calcium, Nitrates, Potassium and Sodium (Na) were measured to estimate the sentientand water quality of the Simly dam. WQI of both raw dam water and filtered dam water was determined using WorldHealth Organization (WHO) standards for drinking water. The water quality index of raw dam water was found to be62.79 while that of filtered dam water was 49.43. The WQI of the unfiltered raw dam water was found to be in class Cthat is poor category, while the filtered dam water was falling in Class B that refers to good category according to waterquality index categories. Regular monitoring of water quality is recommended to ensure safe water supply toconsumers.

Problems associated with pollution are becoming more severe as industrialization advances rapidly. Inorganic and organic wastes, both water-soluble and insoluble, are discharged into the aquatic environment, contributing to one of the most critical problems: water pollution. The discharge of waste in water channels allows heavy metal ions, which are toxic to all kinds of life, to enter the food chain. Lead, nickel, sodium, potassium, zinc, copper, iron lithium, cadmium, and chromium (VI) are among the most hazardous metal ions. Because they don't break down, metal ions build up in the environment and move up the food chain. Therefore, higher trophic level animals are more susceptible to their toxicityHeavy metals found in freshwater and sediments have been found to bioaccumulate in fish tissues. Rawal Dam, Mangla Dam, and Zabi Dam were identified as highly contaminated areas of freshwater that had detrimental effects on fish and human health. The Rawal Dam, which received a lot of industrial and sewage drainage from Punjab's metropolitan areas and industry, was significantly contaminated compared to other Pakistani Dams. Changhoz and Ghol Dams, with their massive water flows and relatively few accompanying industrial facilities, have the healthiest ecosystems of all Pakistan's dams. Changhoz Dam's freshwater fish are considered to be safe for human consumption. Heavy metals are accumulated by migratory birds at Rawal Dam from eating fish from freshwater reservoirs. Heavy metal pollution has been linked to a variety of social, ecological, and economic issues. The detrimental effects of heavy metals on aquatic organisms and human well-being can be reduced if wastewater is purified before being released into freshwater.

“…Nevertheless, the main challenges in maintaining and enhancing dam fisheries and associated social and economic benefits are the inadequate management on the dam, fish habitat and environmental degradation, unconditioned fish introduction, the unregulated water use for fisheries activities (catch and cultivation), conflicts among locals and fishermen, lack of spatial rules, and insufficient institutional and political recognition [11,17]. Furthermore, dam fisheries are also subject to various threats such as accelerated eutrophication [20,21], overexploitation and overfishing [8,12], invasive species [22,23], toxic contamination [24,25], and climate change [20,26].…”

Cirata Dam is one of the dams in West Java, Indonesia, which has significant resources of endemic fish potential from adjacent rivers, as well as fish introduction from other regions or countries. Unfortunately, the production of fishing in these dams has decreased significantly every year due to unregulated fishing activities, water pollution caused by the feed from aquaculture activities, as well as domestic and industrial wastes discharged into the waters. This study analyzes the depletion of fish resources due to fishing and pollution at these sites. Methods used in this research are the bio-economic logistic standard and Gompertz model, to measure the impact of fishing on the dynamics of fish resources, and linear as well as non-linear regression to obtain the coefficient of pollution on production. The depletion of fish resources calculated by Anna model modification. The result shows that the depletion rate of Cirata's fish, varies in a year with an average depletion of 25% during the year of observation with standard model for analyzing fishing activities intervention alone. Combined with pollution, the rate of depletion is increased. The implication of the MSY or MEY management instruments is required to control the fish resources.
