       network of the Catchment of adjacent
       waterway through the inappropriate use
       of fertilisers associated with development
       of landscaped areas. Nutrients may also
       be introduced by detergents, nitrous oxide
       deposition from vehicle exhausts and
       organic waste. An excess of nutrients
       may lead to eutrophication of downstream
       waterways resulting in algal blooms and
       excessive macrophyte growth. In extreme
       cases this may clog waterways and
       destroy habitat.
