It is a state of excessive nutritional enrichment as organic matter or other kinds of nutrients flows into the water in high quantity, rendering self-purification of river or worthless. It is one of the most common types of water pollution.
● Reduce aquatic diversity and degrades water quality ● Make tap water stench and undrinkable ● Incur high water treatment cost ● Turn recreational activities such as swimming or fishing unsustainable ● Create an eyesore
Eutrophication of seawater is referred as red tide. Such name came into existence since a sudden surge in red colored phytoplankton turns the water red. It inflicts huge damage on fish-farming and living creatures in the ocean.

Due eutrophication many water bodies has literally death in converted in what scientist call death zones. One example is the north part of Gulf of Mexico, in the Mississippi river delta. This is because all the nutrient removal on the corn belt area, due the excessive use of fertilizers in agriculture.
