Eutrophication refers to the process by which a body of water becomes overly enriched with nutrients, typically from runoff containing fertilizers or sewage. This leads to excessive growth of algae and other aquatic plants, which can deplete oxygen levels in the water and harm marine life.

What kind of pollution occurs when livestock waste and agricultural chemicals enter the water supply?

In general, when water is polluted it is called, surprisingly enough, water pollution. Specifically, livestock waste and agricultural chemicals would be chemical water pollution (since there are chemicals dissolved in the water), to differentiate these from particulate pollution (soot, silt, and clay suspended in the water).Excess Nitrates from organic or inorganic fertilisers can also cause severe algal blooms. this process is called Eutrification.
