HI
HERE IS THE ANSWER
EUTHROPHICATION
AN EXCESSIVE GROWTH OR BLOOMS OF ALGAE IN LAKES RICH IN NUTRIENTS SUCH AS PHOSPHATES IS CALLED EUTHROPHICATION .NORMALLY IT TAKES THOUSANDS OF YEARS TO PROGRESS, BUT HUMANS ACTIVITIES HAVE ENHANCED THIS PROGRESS GREATLY . HUMANS ADD EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF PLANT NUTRIENTS (primarily phosphorus, nitrogen , and carbon) TO STREAMS AND LAKES IN VARIOUS WAYS . RUNOFF FROM AGRICULTURE FIELDS AND URBAN LAWNS, AND UNTREATED DOMESTIC SEWAGE DISCHARGED INTO LAKES ARE MAJOR SOURCES OF THESE NUTRIENTS . THESE NUTRIENTS SPEED UP THE ALGAL BLOOMS WHICH IN TURN , LEAD TO OXYGEN DEPLETION . AS A RESULT OF THIS , MANY FISH , BIRDS AND OTHER ANIMALS DIE AND THE WATER BEGINS TO SINK .

Hey friend here is your answer
EUTROPHICATION is a process by which pollution from such sources as sewage effluent or leachate from fertilized fields causes a lake, pond, or fen to become overrich in organic and mineral nutrients, so that algae and cyanobacteria grow rapidly and deplete the oxygen supply.
hope it help you ^_^
