Do you mean 'eutrophication'?

Eutrophication is when a body of water - a lake, or pond - has excessive mineral and organic nutrients, so that growth of plant life is heavily promoted. When this happens, plants such as algae multiply to the extent that the dissolved oxygen in the water becomes so far reduced that other organisms - plants and animals - can become dangerously depleted, or extinct, in that body of water.
