The correct answer is Eutrophication.

When a body of water become enriched with nutrients and minerals and induces growth of algae and plants is referred to as eutrophication.

The process of eutrophication can result to water body depletion.

When there is increase in nutrient levels there is increase in phytoplankton in the water body.

Discharge of nitrates which contain sewage, fertilizer, and detergents in aquatic system may induce the eutrophication.
