A high Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) indicates that a water body has a significant amount of organic matter that bacteria will decompose, leading to increased oxygen consumption. This can result in lower oxygen levels for aquatic life, potentially harming fish and other organisms. Elevated BOD levels may suggest pollution or contamination, often from wastewater or runoff, and can impact the overall health of the ecosystem.
