Abstract:Abstract. Toxic cyanobacterial blooms in urban lakes present serious health hazards to humans and animals and require effective management strategies. Managing such blooms requires a sufficient understanding of the controlling environmental factors. A range of them has been proposed in the literature as potential triggers for cyanobacterial biomass development and cyanotoxin (e.g. microcystin) production in freshwater systems. However, the environmental triggers of cyanobacteria and microcystin variability rem… Show more
“…The northern and southern edge of the lake are bordered closely to main roads, and the southern edge of the lake has buried sanitary landfill (Burkett 2005). Bibra Lake receives water via direct rainfall and surface runoff from the urban catchments (Sinang et al 2015), which is might be the source of its moderate concentration of metals.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
