Eutrophication significantly impacts both aquatic ecosystems and human health, primarily through the excessive nutrient runoff from agriculture and sewage treatment. This process leads to harmful algal blooms, which disrupt food webs by increasing phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass. As these blooms develop, they can deplete oxygen levels in the water, posing serious risks to animal and human populations relying on these water sources. The complexities of eutrophication highlight its environmental challenges and the urgent need for effective management strategies.
