“…Nutrients are essential to the survival of aquatic organisms, but excess nutrient loading to water bodies can impact the designated uses of water (Bricker et al 2007;FDEP 2009;Freeman et al 2009). Nitrates can be leached or transported in run-off (Blanchard and Lerch 2000).…”

Although water constitutes 71% of the earth's surface, only 0.3% of it is available as fresh water for human use. Moreover, the quality of fresh water in ground and surface systems is of great concern, as potable water needs to have appropriate mineral content. Ground and surface water quality in rural and urban environments is affected by both natural processes and anthropogenic influences. Because of this, water is becoming scarcer as the population increases across the world. Natural processes leading to changes in water quality include weathering of rocks, evapotranspiration, depositions due to wind, leaching from soil, run-off due to hydrological factors, and biological processes in the aquatic environment. These natural processes cause changes in the pH and alkalinity of the water, and also phosphorus loading, increase in fluoride content and high concentrations of sulphates. Anthropogenic factors affecting water quality include impacts due to agriculture, use of fertilizers, manures and pesticides, animal husbandry activities, inefficient irrigation practices, deforestation of woods, aquaculture, pollution due to industrial effluents and domestic sewage, mining, and recreational activities. These anthropogenic influences cause elevated concentrations of heavy metals, mercury, coliforms and nutrient loads. This paper studies the effects of natural processes and human influences in rural and urban aquatic systems. Pollution due to environmental parameters such as heavy metal pollution, heavy metals and bacterial and pathogenic contamination of both urban and rural areas is discussed in detail.

“…Nutrients are essential to survival of aquatic organisms, but excess nutrient loading to waterbodies can impact designated uses of water (FDEP, 2009;Freeman et al, 2009;Bricker et al, 2007). Despite the water quality protection requirements of the Clean Water Act, eutrophication resulting from excess nutrient loading is considered to be the single largest cause of water quality degradation in US lakes and estuaries (Vitousek et al, 1997).…”

“…Most studies on controls of trophic state focused on the relationships among total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and chlorophyll a, primarily in temperate lakes and reservoirs, although there were some efforts to model trophic state in tropical reservoirs (e.g., Salas andMartino 1991, Huszar et al 1998). Models usually have nutrients driving standing stock of chlorophyll (e.g., An and Park 2002, Freeman et al 2009, Liu et al 2010 to characterize the mechanisms involved in biomass limitation (Håkanson et al 2007.…”
