Phosphate pollution is a condition where there is too much phosphorus in lakes and streams, as a result from poor timing on fertilizer application. In some cases, phosphorus can leach from grass clippings to create the same effect. When too much phosphorus enters lakes and streams, it can cause algae blooms. Algae blooms block sunlight from reaching the fish and other aquatic plants, and the aquatic life dies.

It rains then washes the fertilizer from farms and into the lakes.

Lakes, Ponds, Accumulation of water.
Accumulation water cycle means that the runoff of water (from rain, snow, hail) runs from higher ground down into the rivers, oceans, lakes, and puddles.
Eutrophication is the overgrowth of algae in lakes and ponds that is usually caused by the introduction of different chemicals into the water from fertilizer run-off. Some ways to combat this are to increase the flow of moving water, prevent contamination from fertilizer, and reduce pollution of our lakes and streams.
