Answer:

answer should be "making water hypoxic for organisms". reason is because the runoff from these treatment plants are filled with nutrients, which will cause eutrophication. eutrophication is excessive algae sprouts which create more DO but then later becomes all used up when they decompose, making it so other organisms have no oxygen.
