Preventing the formation of dead zones, areas with low oxygen levels in water bodies, primarily involves reducing nutrient pollution, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural runoff, wastewater, and industrial discharges. Implementing best management practices, such as buffer strips, cover crops, and improved wastewater treatment, can help mitigate nutrient loading. Additionally, restoring wetlands and promoting sustainable farming practices can enhance ecosystem resilience. While complete prevention may be challenging, significant reductions in nutrient inputs can help minimize dead zone occurrences.
