Moreover, the long water residence time, thermal stability of the water column, and high abiogenic turbidity increase the probability that dominance of filamentous cyanobacteria will occur (Scheffer, 1998), this being a characteristic environmental condition of the reservoirs in the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte.
