Discussion

Observational analysis reveals spatial differences in chlorophyll a and nutrient levels in Ghanaian reservoirs, highlighting anthropogenic impacts.

Significant spatial variation in o-SiO₄⁴⁻ concentration was observed, with the Tono reservoir showing the highest levels due to geological factors.
Dissolved organic carbon concentrations differed notably among reservoirs, with Golinga exhibiting the highest levels, indicating strong anthropogenic impacts.
Assessing seasonal dynamics revealed dissolved oxygen levels remained optimal for aquatic life despite variations in nutrient concentrations.
The findings emphasize the necessity for improved management practices to mitigate degradation from human-induced activities like agricultural runoff.

Abobi et al. (2025) studied this question.
