Abstract:This study aims to analyze the impacts of water quality on the water availability of reservoirs using the total phosphorus (TP) concentration as an indicator. Three reservoirs in the State of Ceará were investigated for this purpose: Acarape do Meio (29.6 hm3); Aracoiaba (162 hm3); and Pentecoste (395.6 hm3). For estimating the TP load yielded in the studied catchments, equations that correlate census data on animal, agricultural and human production with TP gross production were applied. The TP balance in the… Show more
