Answer 2

Answer:

It is referred to the natural ageing process of a lake as a result of nutrient enrichment caused by the overflow of nutrients such as fertilizers, animal wastes and sewage from land leading to an increased fertility of the lake. Consequently, there is a huge increase in the primary productivity of the ecosystem bringing about an increased growth of algae, hence in algal blooms. After sometime, the decomposition of these algae reduces oxygen supply, resulting in the death of aquatic animal life.
