A river with an inflow of domestic sewage rich in organic waste may result in
Drying of the river very soon due to algal bloom.
Increased population of aquatic food web organisms.
An increased production of fish due to biodegradable nutrients.
Death of fish due to lack of oxygen.
To solve this problem, we need to understand the impact of domestic sewage rich in organic waste on a river ecosystem.Let's analyze the options:Option 1: Drying of the river very soon due to algal bloom. - Algal blooms can occur due to nutrient enrichment, but they do not cause the river to dry up. - This option is incorrect.Option 2: Increased population of aquatic food web organisms. - While nutrients can initially increase some populations, the overall effect of organic waste is often negative due to oxygen depletion. - This option is incorrect.Option 3: An increased production of fish due to biodegradable nutrients. - Although nutrients can support fish growth, excessive organic waste leads to oxygen depletion, harming fish. - This option is incorrect.Option 4: Death of fish due to lack of oxygen. - Organic waste increases microbial activity, consuming oxygen and leading to hypoxic conditions. - This results in the death of fish and other aquatic organisms. - This option is correct.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4: Death of fish due to lack of oxygen.
