| hypertrophic |
A term when, applied to lakes, indicates a lake highly enriched in nutrients, with low clarity, and a high likelihood of algal blooms. Lakes that become hypertrophic lakes normally become that way because of human land use (and abuse) in the surrounding catchment, with poor riparian management, high run-off, and excessive use of fertilisers. Hypertrophic lakes tend to be unsuitable for any use, from drinking water to contact recreation, and are not conducive to healthy aquatic ecosystems either.
