Eutrophication of Manila Region, Philippines
In the Philippines about 37% of the total water pollution originates from agricultural practices, which include use of animal waste, fertilizer and pesticide runoff. As a consequence, eutrophication is observed in the Manila coastal region in connection with the major drainage region around Manila....
