Drying of the river very soon due to algal bloom
Increased population of aquatic food web organisms
Death of fish due to lack of oxygen
An increased production of fish due to biodegradable nutrients
Eutrophication is the natural aging of a lake by nutrient enrichment of its water. With time, streams draining into the lake introduce nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus and domestic sewage, which encourage the growth of aquatic organisms. As the lakes fertility increases, algal bloom occurs. Algal bloom causes the degradation of water quality and fish mortality and dead remains begin to be deposited on the lake bottom. Over the years, the lake finally converts into land. Thus, the correct answer is option C (Death of fish due to lack of oxygen). The excessive growth of algae depletes the dissolved oxygen in the water, leading to the death of fish.
