Best Answer

When oxygen levels in water get low... When algae takes over a lake. The oxygen levels will get low.

What things cause oxygen Depletion?

How are the international efforts at reducing resource and ecological depletion similar?

International efforts at reducing resource and ecological depletion are similar. Resource depletion means reducing the resources used. Ecological depletion focuses on reducing waste for the environment. Both are for the better of the environment.


Which is a way thst groundwater depletion affects streams?

Water depletion would mean that streams would dry out, and rivers run low.


How does algae bloom affect dissolved oxygen?

Nutrients remove oxygen from water either by direct oxidation or through being consumed by plants or animals (bacteria). The potential for oxygen removal is measured by: BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) measures the amount of oxygen that bacteria can remove, COD (chemical oxygen demand) measures how much oxygen can be removed by chemical processes, and TOD (Total Oxygen Demand) is the total of all oxygen removed biochemically and chemically. Generally, colder water can hold more dissolved oxygen than warmer water. If you make a rough nomograph and plot the same amount of dissolved oxygen for a cold and warm temperature, you will see that the cold water is less saturated (can hold more oxygen) than the more saturated warm water. Nutrients effect oxygen levels indirectly in a process called eutrophication. If the nutrient happens to be a limiting nutrient (such as phosphate in lakes), then the carrying capacity of the photosynthetic organisms is raised. This allows for a population growth, commonly seen as algal blooms. The population of decomposers is then boosted too, since they feed (decay) on the phytoplankton/algae. As more and more organic material settles to the benthic zone, decomposers increase and need more oxygen for respiration. This results in oxygen depletion in the ecosystem, making life for marine animals such as fish difficult/impossible.
