Biology
1 answer:
babunello [35]3 years ago
4 0
Eutrophication is the process by which a body of water is enriched with excess nutrients as a result of frequent runoffs from land; this result in excessive growth of some plants on the surface of the water.
When fertilizers are washed away from the land surfaces into the rivers as a result of water erosion, the fertilizers usually add nutrients to the water and bring about the growth of plants such as algae on the surface of the water. The plants that are growing on the surface of the water affect the organisms living in the water negatively because the plants will reduce the amount of light that get to the surface of the water.

Which of these are the two major sources of nitrate pollution in rivers?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is <em>c. animal wastes and fertilizers. </em>

Explanation:

Two major sources of nitrate pollution are farming and breeding activities. There are also certain industrial activities involved in nitrate pollution, but in general, these industries are related to agriculture.

The indiscriminate use of fertilizers for several years in intensive productions produce high nitrate concentration in soil and consequently elevate the risk of nitrate lixiviation.

Breeding animals produce nitrate pollution by their wastes, which accumulate and are not treated. These wastes include flesh, hair, feathers, skin, fat, liquids, excrements, among others. These wastes are an important source of nitrate.

In many cases, animal wastes are used by farmers as organic matter to improve their production. But excessive and incorrect use of it might produce severe damage in water sources.
