Eutrophication is a process taking place in natural waters. The process is characterized by development of an environment rich in nutrients and consequent proliferous plant production. Man-made eutrophication of inland water courses and shallow coastal waters is caused by excessive discharge of nutrients, especially phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) ...

eutrophication 1. The process by which a body of water becomes rich in dissolved nutrients from fertilizers or sewage, thereby encouraging the growth and decomposition of oxygen-depleting plant life and resulting in harm to other organisms. 2.
