algalkilling
Algal bloom, often referred to as algalkilling in some contexts, is a rapid increase or accumulation in the population of algae in freshwater or marine water systems. These blooms are typically triggered by an excess of nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, which can originate from agricultural runoff, sewage discharge, and industrial waste. While algae are a natural part of aquatic ecosystems, their excessive growth can have detrimental effects.
When algae proliferate rapidly, they can deplete the dissolved oxygen in the water, a process known as
Identifying and managing the sources of nutrient pollution is crucial for preventing and mitigating algalkilling. Strategies
