Phosphorous

Phosphorus is a commonly known nutrient found in water and is essential for plantation growth, however, excessive amounts of phosphorus in water can lead to eutrophication, which is an overgrowth of aquatic plants and algae. This has been known to result in a decrease in dissolved oxygen levels, which can harm aquatic life and agriculture. Additionally, phosphorus can also contribute to the formation of harmful agal blooms and can be a source of contamination in drinking water sources.
