[quote=MAY001,235250]Source: China Daily Residents in eastern Chinese city of Wuxi rushed to buy bottled water after tap supplies became putrid from algae blanketing a nearby lake, and scientists said the outbreak could last for months. The level of Taihu Lake in Jiangsu province was at its lowest in 50 years and blue-green algae had spread, leaving the water that usually supplied Wuxi undrinkable, Xinhua news agency said on Thursday. Panicked Wuxi city residents stripped supermarkets clean of bottled water and small shops raised prices, local newspapers reported. The volatile mix of pollution, thirsty citizens and health worries echoed a panic in late 2005, when millions of residents of Harbin in northeast China had tap water cut off for weeks after a toxic spill in the Songhua River affected drinking water.[/quote]
