|| Eutrophication: Excessive nutrients in water leading to algal blooms and oxygen depletion || Eutrophication is an environmental issue where water bodies become overly enriched with nutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus, often due to agricultural runoff, wastewater discharge, and deforestation. This nutrient overload leads to harmful algal blooms (HABs), which deplete oxygen levels in the water, creating hypoxic "dead zones" where aquatic life cannot survive. The effects of eutrophication include loss of biodiversity, massive fish kills, and economic losses due to declines in fisheries, tourism, and increased water treatment costs. Solutions to eutrophication include better nutrient management in agriculture through precision farming and buffer zones, improved wastewater treatment to reduce nutrient discharge, and the restoration and conservation of wetlands to naturally filter nutrients. Addressing eutrophication requires coordinated efforts to reduce nutrient inputs and restore affected ecosystems, thereby protecting water quality and aquatic life globally. #anumeenacare #nonprofits #community #eutrophication #algae #nature #waterpollution #education #explore #awareness #unhealthywater #oxygendepletion #marineecosystems #aquaticecosystem
