Why is it important?
The study is important and is a contribution from the tropical lakes and reservoir. This paper described the sediment and TP budget from the river inputs and output, where 36% and 37% of sediment and TP were deposited in the reservoir, respectively.
Perspectives
I hope this paper is useful to other researchers in this field of land surface runoff and agricultural runoff to lakes and reservoirs. We have found that the agricultural runoff from the catchment area has lead to the some degree of eutrophication in the lake
