The correct response is:

Excess levels of nutrients in the water supply

Both improper livestock management (such as overgrazing and manure runoff) and improper irrigation practices (such as over-fertilization) can lead to nutrient runoff, causing excess levels of nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, to enter the water supply. This can contribute to problems like algal blooms and water quality degradation.
