Given the widespread extent of water quality degradation associated with nutrient enrichment, eutrophication has and continues to pose a serious threat to potable drinking water sources ...
Globally, the most prevalent water quality problem is eutrophication, a result of high-nutrient loads (mainly phosphorus and nitrogen), which substantially impairs beneficial uses of water.
plants and animals in nearby rivers and lakes can sometimes be killed, but not by poisoning. The steps in eutrophication are shown in the animation below.
