Answer:

1. Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis works by forcing feedwater through a semi-permeable membrane.

A pump is used to apply pressure to reverse the normal osmotic flow across a membrane, meaning purified water molecules (permeate) are forced through the reverse osmosis membrane and recovered in preference to contaminants in the concentrated side which are left behind (reject concentrate).

2. Oxidisation

Oxidisation in the form of chlorination has been used as a means of water purification since the beginning of the last century. Hypochlorite is the key agent, achieving a disinfection of water by oxidising bacteria to eliminate waterborne diseases. Several different methods can be used to provide oxidation, including ozonation, chloramination, UV, bromination & chlorine dioxide. During the treatment, hydroxyl radicals are generated to destroy bacteria cells.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

B. runoff of nitrates from fertilizers applied to the golf course

Explanation:

Algal bloom is defined as the rapid growth of algae in freshwater or marine water. Algal bloom is green or yellowish in color that cover the top layer of water systems.

Algal bloom in the given case is caused by the excess of nutrients that is nitrates from fertilizers into waters and higher concentrations of nitrates causes uncontrollable growth of algae.

Algal blooms are harmful for environment as they may produce toxins and can block the sunlight from reaching the plants and animals in the water systems.

Hence, the correct answer is "B. runoff of nitrates from fertilizers applied to the golf course".
