<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Eutrophication is the process in which a water body becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to plentiful growth of simple plant life. The excessive growth (or bloom) of algae and plankton in a water body are indicators of this process and green colour of water body. Eutrophication is considered to be a serious environmental concern since it often results in the deterioration of water quality and the increase in BOD. Eutrophic waters can eventually become “dead zones” that are incapable of supporting life.
