Cover Story: The global state of deteriorating water resource quality threatens socio-economic development, livelihoods, and biodiversity due to the reduced fitness-for-use. Water has no alternative, hence the critical need for sustainable management. This study employed different indices to determine the water quality status of a man-made dam for the needs of sustainable water resource management. The dam exhibited the spatial variation of physicochemical characteristics, indicative of influence by point-source pollution. The dam was classified as being eutro-hypertrophic, and as P-limited. Moreover, the WQI demonstrated very poor water quality that could be used for crop irrigation purposes only. As such, continued nutrient enrichment must be mitigated to sustain fitness for irrigation, at least. However, strategic goals should involve widening fitness for use. View this paper
