  1. eutrophication

Explanation:

hn increase in Nitrogen causes an increase in the growth of plants.
Nitrogen acts as a fertilizer because nitrogen is needed for the production of DNA and proteins. An increase of Nitrogen will cause an increase in plant growth and a decrease in the percentage of Oxygen in the water.

The increase in plant growth and decrease in Oxygen levels will cause animals to die and also the death of the excess plant growth. This will result in the Eutrophication of the water environment.
