Nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and their ratios are important factors influencing the primary productivity of a reservoir. Based on analyses of Panshet and Ujjani Reservoirs in Maharashtra, India, it was observed that, in addition to their nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and ratios and other chemical constituents, physiographical factors such as geography, catchment land use, water basin morphology, bathymetry and changing water levels or flushing rates also influenced the productivity of these two reservoirs.
