Answer 1

The correct response is:

Excess levels of nutrients in the water supply

Both improper livestock management (such as overgrazing or inadequate waste management) and improper irrigation practices (such as runoff and fertilizer leaching) can lead to the accumulation of excess nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, in the water supply. This can contribute to problems like eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems.
