| Domain | Definition |
Agriculture | The process by which a body of water acquires a high concentration of plant nutrients, especially nitrates or phosphates. This nutrification promotes algae growth that, when it dies, can lead to the depletion of dissolved oxygen, killing fish and other aquatic organisms. While eutrophication is a natural, slow-aging process for a body of water, human activities can greatly accelerate the process. (references) |
Environment | The slow aging process during which a lake, estuary, or bay evolves into a bog or marsh and eventually disappears. During the later stages of eutrophication the water body is choked by abundant plant life due to higher levels of nutritive compounds such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Human activities can accelerate the process. (references) |
| The process by which. . . water. . . as a result of inorganic nutrient action on algae. . . becomes deficient in oxygen and unable to support forms of life that are useful to man. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| The enrichment of water by nutrients, especially compounds of nitrogen and/or phosphorus, causing an accelerated growth of algae and higher forms of plant life to produce an undesirable disturbance to the balance of organisms present in the water and to the quality of the water concerned. Source: European Union. (references) | |
Health | Growth of a superabundance of algae and other microscopic plant life usually from an enrichment of a natural body of water by the addition of dissolved nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus. It may be natural, induced (water pollution), or controlled (harvesting phytoplankton for food in an aquaculture system). (references) |
Science | The process whereby a body of water becomes rich in dissolved nutrients through natural or man-made processes. This often results in a deficiency of dissolved oxygen, producing an environment that favors plant over animal life. (references) |

Business | There are no water treatment plants having a tertiary treatment step (for nitrogen and phosphorous elimination) and for this reason eutrophication is present in many lakes and reservoirs. (references) | |
