... a. An oligotrophic body of water has clear water and supports small populations of aquatic organisms due to the minimal levels of nutrients in its unenriched waters b. An body of water enriched by inorganic plant and algal nutrients (i.e., phosphorus) is said to be eutrophic; it usually contains lar ...

Eutrophication
Eutrophication (Greek: eutrophia—healthy, adequate nutrition, development; German: Eutrophie) or more precisely hypertrophication, is the ecosystem's response to the addition of artificial or natural substances, mainly phosphates, through detergents, fertilizers, or sewage, to an aquatic system. One example is the ""bloom"" or great increase of phytoplankton in a water body as a response to increased levels of nutrients. Negative environmental effects include hypoxia, the depletion of oxygen in the water, which may cause death to aquatic animals.
