[quote=CHRISWAUGHBJ,235485]According to the news reports, a low water level in Tai Hu caused by long, hot temperatures and below average rainfall has resulted in an abnormally high concentration of nutrients, causing a bloom of blue-green algae. I saw it on CCTV 新闻's report at midday today, and the lake's "water" is simply revolting. And yes, Paul, overexploitation of the Earth is undoubtedly playing a huge role in this. But not global warming, not in this case. Blooms of blue-green algae are common to many water systems with a surplus of nutrients. Often the surplus of nutrients is caused by agricultural run-off- basically, all the extra fertilizer sprayed by farmers finds its way into rivers, lakes and the sea, feeding the blue-green algae, which causes the bloom. Sewage also often contributes. In the case of Tai Hu this time round, an unfortunate turn in the weather has aggravated the problem.[/quote]
