Cultural Eutrophication

The process by which a body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients due to human activity, leading to excessive algae growth and oxygen depletion.

Nutrient Runoff

The movement of nutrients, typically from fertilizers or natural deposits, from land into water bodies, causing pollution and ecosystem imbalances.

Dredging Lake

The process of removing sediments and debris from the bottom of lakes or water bodies to improve their health or navigability.
