Most phosphates now found in water got there either from detergents or fertilizers used on crops. Detergents as a source of phosphates has been significantly reduced in recent years by changes to the formulations of most household detergents used in developed countries, but continues to be a problem in many third world countries. The phosphates enter the water from the sewage from homes and from runoff from fertilized crops.
