Answer:

Eutrophication is an enrichment of water by nutrient salts that causes structural changes to the ecosystem such as: increased production of algae and aquatic plants, depletion of fish species, general deterioration of water quality and other effects that reduce and preclude use”.

Explanation:

Human activities can contribute excess amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus into water. Therefore, human causes of eutrophication include the use of agricultural fertilizers. Other causes include sewage and aquaculture, which is the growing or farming of fish, shellfish and aquatic plants.

The known consequences of cultural eutrophication include blooms of blue-green algae (i.e., cyanobacteria), tainted drinking water supplies, degradation of recreational opportunities, and hypoxia.
