"Degradation of water quality in Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland, by diffuse nitrogen flux from a phosphorous-rich catchment."

In this article, two lake zones are compared to try to deduce what happened to decrease the water quality. One lake exhibited moderate production, with low levels of fossil pigments, while the other exhibited high levels of fossil and algal pigments, leading to eutrophication of the lake. The lake zones compared are located in Northern Ireland, which is pertinent to our group's world region. The topic, eutrophication of a phosphorous-rich lake, is pertinent to our study of water.
