Abstract:Poorly treated domestic wastewater and diffuse nutrient loading from agriculture and informal human settlements greatly threaten water resources due to the alteration of ecosystem function and the reduction of the water’s fitness for use. Thus, the aim of the study was to assess nutrient loading in the eutrophic Roodeplaat Dam (RD) to inform water resource management as a foundation for the rehabilitation of the dam. The objectives were to determine Total Phosphorus (TP) and Nitrogen (N) loading capacity into … Show more
