Answer: Eutrophication is the enhancement of the growth of algae in the water body.

Explanation:

The scientists are worried for the climate change as if the climate changed to prolonged rainy then the frequent raining can remove toxic chemicals from the agricultural sites, landfills, industries, and from other locations and deposit them to the water body (river, lakes, ponds, and others). The deposition of the salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur promotes the growth of algae in the water body. This leads to reduction in the concentration of oxygen in the water body. This is called eutrophication. The lack of oxygen can lead to mortality of aquatic animals.
