Algae blooms are mainly cause by pollution in water. For example, fertilizer that pollutes the water like in streams or rivers...etc.
There is always some algae on water, When nutrient in the water is available for algae to grow it will simply grow until it runs out of nutrient. These nutrients have often been introduced as a result of farming and drainage practices.

This bloom is often triggered by an abundance of nutrients in the water, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, leading to exponential growth of algae species. Algal blooms can have negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems, including depleted oxygen levels and harm to wildlife.
What are population explosion of algae called?

What causes a freshwater bloom?
A freshwater bloom is a sudden overpopulation of algae. This is caused by excessive nutrients in the water which act like fertilizers to stimulate algal growth. Common causes could be leaking sewage pipes, runoff from a golf course, sudden release of animal manure during a flood, etc.
