Eutrophication is the overgrowth of algae in lakes and ponds that is usually caused by the introduction of different chemicals into the water from fertilizer run-off. Some ways to combat this are to increase the flow of moving water, prevent contamination from fertilizer, and reduce pollution of our lakes and streams.

we can prevent this by decreasing the use of fertilizer in plants. Excess use of fertilizer can lead to eutrophication.
Natural eutrophication isn't as much of a problem as artificial eutrophication. Artificial eutrophication is caused by humans (fertilizer from farms, lawns, gardens, etc. pesticides, herbicides, road chemicals, etc) these chemicals cause eutrophication to happen much faster than it should. If eutrophication happens faster, algal blooms (large floating mats of algae) form. When algal blooms decay, the bacteria that decays it depletes the oxygen in the lake or pond and the fish die of suffocation.
Eutrophication is not directly related with symbiosis since it involves the excessive amounts of phosphates and nitrates.
