“…Similarly, a few studies on model development in relation to lakes have only focused on nutrient response models for shallow tropical lake (Sharip, Schooler, Hipsey, & Hobbs, ), eutrophication (Ishak, ) and water quality assessment of urban recreational lakes, which omit the watershed and surrounding land‐use influences (Oyekanmi, Nik Daud, Ahsan, & Pradhan, ). Recent studies (Ali et al., ; Sharip, Yanagawa, & Terasawa, ; Sharip, Saman, et al., ) focused only on water demand issues, assessment of spatial water quality dynamics and lake ecosystem dynamics in response to nutrient fluxes, respectively, using the application of commercial software.…”
