What would a huge amount of organic matter do to the BOD of a river?

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms in a body of water to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period.
