Eutrophication is a process where water bodies receive excess nutrients that stimulate excessive plant growth (algae, phytoplankton, and nuisance plants weeds). This enhanced plant growth, often called an algal bloom, reduces dissolved oxygen in the water when dead plant material decomposes and can cause other organisms to die. Nitrates and phosphates are two essential nutrients that can cause eutrophication when they are present in large amounts.
