Nutrient pollution can also affect the drinking water supply and may require installing costly drinking water treatment equipment. The impacts are widespread - algae blooms threaten public health, lower property values, hinder recreational opportunities, and harm local businesses and tourism. Practices can be implemented to reduce or stop nutrient pollution that benefits us and the world's ecosystems.
