Definition of Eutrophication:
(1) An increase in the supply of organic matter.[1]

(2) A condition in an aquatic ecosystem where high nutrient concentrations stimulate growth of algae which leads to imbalanced functioning of the system.[2]

(3) The enrichment of water by nutrients, especially nitrogen and/or phosphorus and organic matter, causing an increased growth of algae and higher forms of plant life to produce an adverse deviation in structure, function and stability of organisms present in the water and to the quality of water concerned, compared to reference conditions.[3]
This is the common definition for Eutrophication, other definitions can be discussed in the article


Notes

High primary production boosted by eutrophication usually leads to oxygen depletion caused by decay of organic matter.
