Answer 1

A lake with an inflow of domestic sewage rich in organic waste may result in death of fish due to lack of oxygen.

Explanation:

Decomposers use dissolved oxygen while breaking down organic sewage, reducing the oxygen available to fish. Nutrient enrichment may cause algal growth, but it does not ensure a lasting increase in fish or aquatic organisms.
