When natural waters are overloaded with plant nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, it can lead to excessive growth of algae and other aquatic plants. This process is called eutrophication. As these plants die and decompose, they deplete the oxygen levels in the water, leading to a decrease in dissolved oxygen that can harm fish and other organisms. This can result in algal blooms, harmful water quality, and a loss of biodiversity.
