The process in which water bodies like lake or slow-moving streams receive an extra amount of nutrients that help in the growth of plants such as algae, plant weeds. This type of plant growth is called algal bloom and this whole process is termed as eutrophication.

Example: During heavy rainfall nutrients from fields are washed away and is accumulated in the nearest water body.
