Forest Hydrology Spring 2018 Water Quality and Aquatic Health Tenet 1 Contaminants from land end up in the water Industrial urban agricultural chemicals Tenet 2 Aquatic systems may respond often in undesirable ways. By . Tadhamin. . Ailewe. . . Eutrophication can be defined “is the process of nutrient enrichment (usually by nitrogen and phosphorus) in aquatic ecosystems such that the productivity of the system ceases to be limited by the availability of nutrients. It occurs naturally over geological time, but maybe accelerated by human activities (e.g. sewage disposal or land drainage”(. David J. Hardisty. Sauder School of Business.

Suppose there is a farm near a slow-moving body of water. . The fertilizer runoff from the farm enters the slow-moving body of water and becomes thoroughly mixed. . The concentration of fertilizer in the water influences the occurrence of harmful algal blooms. . Dust is a nuisance and can quickly build up on all surfaces in the home. While not exactly life threatening, it can aggravate allergies and when left undusted, it can make a home look unclean and most certainly unloved! Department of Environmental Quality.
