Eutrophic Lakes in Alabama

74 eutrophic lakes in Alabama. High nutrients, frequent algae, reduced clarity.

A eutrophic lake is a productive ecosystem with the trade-offs that come with productivity: more food at the base of the food web, more clarity reduction by mid-summer, more dissolved-oxygen variability near the bottom. 74 {{stateName}} lakes register as eutrophic. Only 0% are deep — eutrophy correlates with shallowness, agricultural watersheds, and the kind of nutrient-input history that takes decades to shift.

Eutrophic lakes typically grade C or D on the LakeGrade rubric. The same nutrient richness that defines the trophic class drives the lower grade.
