that plankton studies of the reservoir (pictured) has confirmed that the biodiversity of the zooplankton has maintained the ecological balance of the water body and made it free of pollution?

Long enough. New enough. Well cited. Neutral tone. But some facts need to be tightened up to be in line with cited sources. For example, in the location section, "the balance is free catchment" is off; according to the source, the balance is intercepted. In the Reservoir fisheries section, it's 53 species, not 52. Other than those minor typos, it's good. Please correct them. Hybernator (talk) 21:28, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

I have pulled this from prep as I couldn't verify the hook. It might be in the provided source somewhere but since a page number wasn't provided that is too difficult to determine. However, the source conclusion states that "huge diversity of zooplankton in Lower Manair reservoir indicates there is not pollution and plays a vital role in aquatic ecology" which is not the same thing as the zooplankton "ma[king] it free of pollution" as stated in the hook; the source conclusion is saying that the diversity of zooplankton indicates a lack of pollution, it doesn't say it causes it. Nor does "plays a vital role in aquatic ecology" equate to "maintained the ecological balance of the water". Also, the hook should have identified the water body by name, not simply referred to it generally as "the reservoir", which implies all reservoirs. So either a page number will be requred to confirm the hook, or a new hook will need to be proposed. Gatoclass (talk) 06:41, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
