Properly fertilized land causes no water issues at all and provides several times more food then if fertilizers were not used. Without fertilizers the planet could not sustain anywhere near the volume of humans we currently have.
Over fertilization with some forms of fertilizers can cause water contamination. Some fertilizers are natural and run off from them is not an issue.
It gives nutrients to the crop for the growth and also so that the food stays in a good quality for our health.

Secondary effects of irrigation can include salinization of soil, waterlogging, depletion of groundwater, and increased risk of soil erosion. Additionally, excessive irrigation can lead to a decline in water quality due to the accumulation of pesticides and fertilizers in water bodies.
· Inorganic fertilizers sterilize the natural minerals and nutrients found in soils. · Inorganic fertilizers don't just effect our gardens but also our water ways. When it rains the fertilizer runs into our drains contaminating our water and killing fish. · Inorganic fertilizers sterilize the natural minerals and nutrients found in soils. · Inorganic fertilizers don't just effect our gardens but also our water ways.

Excess phosphorus from fertilizers can run off into waterways and cause eutrophication, leading to algal blooms that deplete oxygen levels and harm aquatic life. This can disrupt the balance of ecosystems and have detrimental effects on water quality.
An environmental assessment of chemical fertilizers should include factors such as their impact on soil health, water quality, air quality, biodiversity, and potential contributions to nutrient pollution. It should also consider the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions associated with their production, transportation, and application. Additional considerations might include their potential for contributing to eutrophication of water bodies and their long-term effects on the environment.
Inorganic fertilizers can contribute to water pollution by leaching into water bodies and causing eutrophication. They can also degrade soil quality by disrupting the soil's natural ecosystem. Excessive use of inorganic fertilizers can lead to health risks for humans through contaminated food and groundwater.
Fertilizers add nutrients and minerals to the soil so plants can grow.
Excessive use of fertilizers: Expensive; Run off causes pollution of water courses and rivers; Crops may eventually grow too fast after a couple of years and be weak, making them prone to diseases.
