Risks

Short-term pollution may occur due to entrainment of leachate from adjacent farmlands during heavy rainfall episodes. Faecal contamination originating mainly from adjacent farmlands is a potential microbiological pollution source. Cyanobacteria, macroalgae, and phytoplankton have low proliferation potential with no recorded history of occurrence.
