State the cause of Accelerated Eutrophications.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Accelerated Eutrophication: It is the ageing of a water body due to nutrient enrichment of its water.
It can be natural or artificial. Eutrophication takes thousands of years, but due to human activities the process has been accelerated, So it is called accelerated eutrophications.
Causes of accelerated Eutrophication: Release of nutrient-rich sewage and industrial effluents leads to the introduction of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus.
Sewage and industrial effluents also lead to increase in temperature and BOD of the water body, causing increased biological activity thereby leadding to algal blooms.

Which of the following statements regarding eutrophication are correct ? (i) Eutrophication is the natural ageing of a lake by nutrient enrichment of its water. (ii) Pollutants from human activities like effluents from the industries and homes can radically accelerate the aging process of a lake. This phenomenon is called as cultural or accelerated eutrophication. (iii) The plant nutrients responsible for eutrophication are nitrates and phosphates.
