Dostinction between eutrophication and artificial eutrophication
Eutrophication poses a problem not only to ecosystems, but to humans as well. Reducing eutrophication should be a key concern when considering future policy, and a sustainable solution for everyone, including farmers and ranchers, seems feasible. While eutrophication does pose problems, humans should be aware that natural runoff (which causes algal blooms in the wild) is common in ecosystems and should thus not reverse nutrient concentrations beyond normal levels.
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 of two types; natural and anthropogenic

No
we can prevent this by decreasing the use of fertilizer in plants. Excess use of fertilizer can lead to eutrophication.
Eutrophication is an increase in the concentration of chemical nutrients in an ecosystem to an extent that increases the primary productivity of the ecosystem. Depending on the degree of eutrophication, subsequent negative environmental effects such as anoxia and severe reductions in water quality, fish, and other animal populations may occur. Cultural eutrophication refers to such problems when caused by man's everyday activities. The eutrophication of the Potomac River would be an example. Most people worry about contaminated sediments in water. However, natural sediments form by weathering of rock. They then erode from the site of weathering and are transported by wind, water or ice operating under the influence of gravity. This is a normal ongoing process and not detrimental to ecosystems.
