Q » What causes algal blooms in reservoirs?
03 Nov, 2025
A » Algal blooms in reservoirs are primarily caused by nutrient enrichment, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, often from agricultural runoff, sewage, and industrial discharges. Warm temperatures, sunlight, and stagnant water further promote these blooms. Such conditions create an ideal environment for algae to proliferate, potentially leading to oxygen depletion, water quality deterioration, and harmful effects on aquatic life and human health.
