Explanation:

The author of this passage explains how farming has had a negative effect on the river. He tells us that farming has altered the way algae grows. As algae becomes more pervasive, it decreases the amount of oxygen in the water. Algae grows quickly, and becomes a plague. As the oxygen decreases, the environment becomes inhospitable to fish and other organisms.
