Preface.
Anyone who can solve the problems of water will be worthy of two Nobel Prizes—one for Peace and one for Science John F. Kennedy
Water is an indispensable resource and essential life supporting factor. On the hydrological map of the world, eutrophication is one of the great issues causing degradation of these freshwater ecosystems. The excessive nutrient enrichment of waters results in change of oligotrophic water bodies to mesotrophic, eutrophic and finally to hypertrophic. The major nutrient sources for enrichment of aquatic ecosystems are sewage, household detergents, industrial discharges, runoff from agriculture, construction sites
