Summary Introduction
To determine: The important effects of eutrophication on lakes.
Introduction: A waterbody that receives pollution runoff becomes rich in nutrients; show the presence of microbial overgrowth. This process, in which pollutant accumulation leads to anaerobic conditions suitable for microbial overgrowth is called eutrophication.
