| Summary: | Chemical fertilizers such as phosphates and nitrates used in agriculture arrive
accidentally into lakes and rivers, increasing the speed of algae bloom. The water can become
"suffocating" due to the decaying algae that deplete the oxygen in it. This process, called
eutrophication, can cause the death of fish and of other aquatic life forms. Floods also carry toxic
pesticides, urban and industrial waste into lakes and rivers. The constant and rigorous
determination of the evolution of the eutrophication process of the water ecosystems is the basis
for the application of all measures to prevent and combat this phenomenon related to water
quality in those ecosystems. In the present paper, there will be presented facts regarding
eutrophication - this phenomenon characteristic to lakes or other aquatic ecosystems, the
excessive development of phytoplantonic species, especially blue algae, green algae, flagella,
diatoms, as well as causes, consequences, preventive and control measures. |
