What is cultural or accelerated eutrophication ?

Solution

Cultural or accelerated eutrophication is man induced. The sewage and agricultural and industrial wastes are primarily resposible for the pollution. They contain plenty of nitrogen and phosphorus which act as nutrients and cause excessive growth of alga. This results in the growth of unsightly scum and unpleasant odors, and robbing the water of dissolved oxygen vital to other aquatic life.
