Explain how does the inflow of large amount of nutrients like phosphates and nitrates into the water body drastically affects the aquatic life there. Name the phenomenon responsible.
The inflow of large amounts of nutrients like nitrates and phosphates initially encourages growth of aquatic organisms, plants and animals. With time as the organic matter increases, debris along with silt piles up at bottom making the water body shallower and warmer. This leads to gradual appearance of floating and marshy plants and is eventually converted into lake. Hence, the aquatic life gets severely affected and disrupted.
This phenomenon is called eutrophication. It may be natural or artificial due to result of human activities.
