Therefore, water contaminated by runoff continues to pose a constant threat to the global ecosystem and the health of humanity. Additionally, as some states, including California, are currently experiencing drought and facing dwindling water supplies, the lack of clean water is an even bigger problem. Due to its negative impacts on humanity's health, the state of the natural environment and water quality, water runoff poses an enormous threat to the well-being of the earth and requires immediate attention. Given polluted water drainage and illegal disposal, contaminants easily find their way into water bodies and threaten the world's ecosystems. For example, algal blooms generally do not occur naturally; instead, these environmental damages are caused by toxins transported into lakes, oceans and streams (“Application”). They consist of rapid increases in algae populations in an aquatic system and during this period of increase the growth of algae also leads to a growth in bacterial populations. These bacteria therefore need oxygen to survive; however, other animals that live in water also need the same oxygen to live. Because of this competition
