Deoxygenation poses significant risks to aquatic life, including fish kills and biodiversity loss, as many species cannot survive in low-oxygen environments. Hypoxic conditions can also disrupt food webs and lead to the proliferation of harmful algal blooms, which further degrade water quality. Human communities relying on these water bodies for drinking water, fisheries, and recreation may face economic and health challenges. The study warns that without mitigation efforts, the frequency and severity of hypoxic events are likely to increase, particularly in regions already vulnerable to climate change and pollution.
