Cultural eutrophication is the process that speeds up natural eutrophication because of human activity. Due to clearing of land and building of towns and cities, land runoff is accelerated and more nutrients such as phosphates and nitrate are supplied to lakes and rivers, and then to coastal estuaries and bays.
Eutrophication. Eutrophication is the process by which a body of water becomes overly enriched by nutrients. You can recall this term by remembering that the word 'eutrophic' comes from the Greek language and means well-nourished. Therefore, a body of water that has undergone eutrophication is a 'well-nourished' lake.utrophication is typically the result of human activities that contribute excess amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus into water. Agricultural fertilizers are one of the main human causes of eutrophication.
