Abstract
Accelerating urban growth worldwide has been blamed for declining water quality of freshwater environments, including the eutrophication of lakes and other surface water bodies. Eutrophication can pose serious risks to drinking water sources and may ultimately cause the die-off of aquatic life. Eutrophication is generally assumed to be driven by the human-enhanced supply of phosphorus, but recent research out of the University of Waterloo found that at Lake Wilcox (a small lake in southern Ontario), eutrophication symptoms persisted even after external phosphorus inputs were reduced. So, what is causing this deterioration in water quality?
