“…Some studies suggest that temperature, evaporation, and precipitation are important parameters in a waterbody because these seasonal changes are directly related to water quality variations [ 22 , 46 , 47 , 48 ]. Seasonal water quality variations are related to runoff, evapotranspiration, drought, and floods processes [ 10 ], which modify the transformation and transport processes of nutrients and other substances in these aquatic environments [ 49 ]. Temperature is a critical parameter of water quality and a major determinant of the presence and productivity of aquatic organisms [ 50 ].…”

“…For this reason, this resource must be protected and any harmful influence on water bodies must be avoided [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. The quality and quantity of available water resources are declining dramatically due to the increase of human activities and global warming; thus, the management of water resources has become more critical [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. The water demand has increased due to the expansion of agriculture and it is well recognized that agricultural activities have caused the degradation of surface water quality around the world because of the use of a wide range of fertilizers and insecticides [ 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

Agricultural activities are highly related to the reduction of the availability of water resources due to the consumption of freshwater for crop irrigation, the use of fertilizers and pesticides. In this study, the water quality of the Adolfo López Mateos (ALM) reservoir was evaluated. This is one of the most important reservoirs in Mexico since the water stored is used mainly for crop irrigation in the most productive agricultural region. A comprehensive evaluation of water quality was carried out by analyzing the behavior of 23 parameters at four sampling points in the period of 2012-2019. The analysis of the spatial behavior of the water quality parameters was studied by spatial distribution graphs using the Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation. Pearson correlation was performed to better describe the behavior of all water quality parameters. This analysis revealed that many of these parameters were significantly correlated. The Principal Components Analysis (PCA) was carried out and showed the importance of water quality parameters. Ten principal components were obtained, which explained almost 90% of the total variation of the data. Additionally, the comprehensive pollution index showed a slight water quality variation in the ALM reservoir. This study also demonstrated that the main source of contamination in this reservoir occurs near sampling point one. Finally, the results obtained indicated that a contamination risk in the waterbody and further severe ecosystem degradations may occur if appropriate management is not taken.

“…Even though, the eutrophication process is a long-drawn and a natural one, it is prone to be distinctly enhanced by human activities, thus, creating latent risks, related to matters, such as, ecological development and human wellbeing or health (Ferral et al, 2018; Le Moal et al, 2019;Lin et al 2021). Hence, the management of water resources have become more critical and imperative, than in the past (Korkanç et al, 2017;Yaghoubi et al, 2020). Due to the fact that, Iran is located in an arid and semi-arid region, it has always been confronted with complexities to do with water scarcity or water shortage issues (Ashraf Vaghe et al, 2014; Khajeh et al, 2017).…”

Lakes and reservoirs have a remarkable role in specifying the ecological environment, public health and socio-economic development. The devastating impacts, of human activities, related to the water quality of these resources, have remarkably elevated in the recent decades. The objectives of this study, is to evaluate the water quality of the Mamloo Dam reservoir (MDR), comprehensively, by analyzing seasonal and spatial modifications of the 10 focal water quality parameters at the four sampling points in 2019. An analysis of the spatial behavior of the parameters was executed in the reservoir the by using the Inverse Distance Weighting Interpolation Approach. The Pearson correlation was carried out, to explore the correlation and attain a better description, in relative to the behavior of the entire parameters of water quality. Ten of the principal components (PC) were obtained, which described 99 percent of the total data changes approximately. The Carlson's Trophic State Index (TSI), demonstrated the presence of eutrophic conditions in the entire sampling stations of the MDR. A survey of the spatial behavior of water quality parameters validates the impact of human and natural activities in the watershed basin, in relevance with the quality of water. Ultimately, the results which have come to hand portrayed that, if in the case, there is an absence of an appropriate and desirable management, a threat of an exacerbation of contamination in the water body, as well as a dramatic degradation of the ecosystem in the reservoir, could be extremely probable.

“…Typically, a multipurpose reservoir consists of a sediment or inactive pool at the bottom, a water conservation pool in the middle, and a flood control pool above the water conservation pool. Reservoir operations entail maintaining conservation pools as full as possible, while simultaneously supplying water demands and maintaining flood control pools as empty as possible (Yeh 1985;Yang et al 2015;Slade 2020;Yaghoubi et al 2020). Conserving empty flood pool capacity is essential for allowing flooding operations to catch and temporarily store flood waters to reduce downstream flooding.…”

Maintaining an adequate water supply is one of the key challenges faced by the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, where increasing population and rising water demand have elevated the vulnerability of the communities to water shortages. In this paper, we conducted a preliminary study exploring the possibility of converting flood storage in the Joe Pool Lake (JPL) as a means to improve water supply reliability and achieve better cost efficiency. This study employs a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) approach that considers the costs of meeting conversion demand and supply requirements over the northern portion of the Trinity River Basin. It includes trade-offs between capturing and storing natural flow versus return flow from the treatment facilities of the Trinity River Authority (TRA). A set of hypothetical prices and demand figures with the record drought of 1940-1996 considered to test the LP model. The optimal strategy yields expansion of JPL and associated storage-diversion on an annual basis. Also, the outcomes of the analyses suggest that, while the conversion would have a positive impact on water availability, storing the return flow might not produce sufficient cost savings; unless higher prices were imposed on the stored-return flow.
