are the chief culprit of water hypoxic pollution. Lots of industrial effluents and leachate from fertilized field that contains abundant chemical elements such as nitrogen and phosphorus flux into rivers or seas and caused a phenomenon called eutrophication‚ which means nutrient enrichment. Those chemical wastes feed phytoplankton in water as a nutrient and enable them to grow rapidly‚ eventually sucking out the

INTRODUCTION This lab was designed to study and observe the effects of phosphate and nitrate applied to pond water (1). Phosphorous‚ commonly used in fertilizers‚ is a necessary and vital element for life but can enhance the effects of eutrophication (the over-enrichment of nutrients in water) (2). Nitrate is a common source of food for most algae‚ but too much can make living conditions in water harsh (3). They are both common pollutants found in fresh water systems throughout the world.

phytoremediation. Duckweed is often used for this purpose in order to decrease nutrient content in water‚ this would therefore increase Duckweed plant growth but since it is used as feed for animals‚ it can be gathered and used for that purpose. In this way eutrophication levels are decreased in water sources and there is more food

Biogeochemical Cycles and Human Impacts The carbon cycle‚ nitrogen cycle‚ and phosphorus cycle all play a big role in our environment. They are some of the key components that are recycled to create pathways know as the biogeochemical cycles. All the chemical elements that make up living cells must be recycled continuously in order for the living components of a major ecosystem to survive. The recycling of these elements is the only possible way to maintain a dynamic system. Human impacts

and transports it into the bodies of water. These fertilizers contain nitrate and phosphate. When the nitrate and phosphate are put into the water‚ they cause a massive growth of algae‚ called eutrophication.( Lentech‚ 2016) The excess algae causes the water to turn green. As a result of eutrophication‚ there is not enough oxygen in the water. This is because when the algae die‚ the bacteria that decomposes it‚ takes up oxygen. With more algae reproducing‚ there is a greater quantity

Prior to the Riverwatch Trip I was skeptical as to how much the wastewater treatment facilities in Calgary contributed to the wellness and overall health of the Bow River. However‚ through various tests before and after the treated water has been combined with the river water‚ I concluded that the wastewater facilities are well worth the tax dollars. Calgary is a large city of over 1 million people and as such produces an abundance of waste which should cause nitrate levels in the water to go up

Lakes are relatively small to large water bodies surrounded by land on all sides sustaining an ecosystem in and around them. Lakes have been an integral part of the ecological system by providing natural abode for plants‚ animals and microorganisms. Increase in urbanization and industrialization has led to the destruction and in the reduction of lakes in the city of Bangalore‚ Surviving lakes in Bangalore are reduced to cesspools due to direct discharge of industrial effluents and unregulated dumping
