One such\nimpact is that the eutrophication of freshwater bodies means excessive growth\nof water plants and algae.

So to mitigate\nthese effects, the EIA for Chemical Fertilizer Industry plays an important\nrole.<\/li><li>Chemical fertiliser has become very important to\nmodern agriculture to feed the growing population.
