The stunning spectacle of this colourful lake near the Chinese city of Hefei has so deeply impressed 2ch that they felt it worthy of artistic tribute; you can see their efforts below…

Via Itai News.
The lake itself ended up this way due an algal bloom caused by chronic eutrophication (an increase in nutrients in a body of water); all life save the algae has died, and a foul stench emanates from the lake, though it certainly looks spectacular.
Efforts to clean the lake have proved futile, and specialists say the only solution may be to get rid of it entirely…

This is China's policy: build up economy first at all costs, restore the environment later. This is the same policy the West pursued when it was building up it's own economy back in the day.
Not just China, sadly. A few years ago one lake over here, in the middle of town, was filled with dead fish. Yucks><
Very nasty algae boom :p I thought the green stuff looked like toxic slut for a second there
It's the Nicklelodeon Slime reservoir. =O
I lol'd so hard
Wee at least china has some dough..unlike my country..
The small elite group does, but most Chinese people are about as well-off as a tramp in Britain or America.
This is a message from yours truly dearest China government:
Cultural revolution in China!
Impressionism just reached our lakes.
Such a triumph is compared to Claude Monet early works, like in the painting Impression: Soleil Levant
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Claude_Monet,_Impression,_soleil_levant,_1872.jpg
The avant garde movement is truly awakening on cultural China!
Nevermind nature, it's all about THE ARTS!
China, the best country in world........................NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
they need captain planet for this.
Isn't this an algae trap? so whats wrong with this, its like judging a country by looking at their garbage tip.
That's the point.
Algae Trap ????
Oh, hang on misunderstanding there....
green? well atleast it's better than yellow...
yes, we have yellow.
well,this is why we made that algae trap:
http://www.cenews.com.cn/tpxw/200906/W020090623335144456009.jpg
continuous high tempreture and south wind set off the boom of algae
someone'd better have some their own cognition and sense of distinction
you feel it just well being led by the nose by others?
HOLY SHIT! Is that for real? it's a friggin painting~!
And now... the GULF of Mexico is dying...
Wow, that guy is painting the lake. How awesome is that?
Monet-esque.
isnt nori made of algae?
why not just sell it?
But all that vibrant blue stuff, isn't that copper pollution?
At any rate algae can be put to use on various things, can't they harvest them for some porpouse?
wow.... what a LAKE!!! bwahahaha looks like my booger! XD
The green stuff looks tasty
Legend has it that if you throw down a piece of paper it will turn into a "green money"
buag, that lake have a color green.....no is shit?
By the rivers of babylon...
Oh China... When will you learn?
When the rest of the world stops buying their crap.
"Chronic eutrophication(an increase in nutrients in a body of water)"
...Hmmm
Years of untreated sewage going into the lake, maybe?
Shit does count as fertilizer.
Eutrophication, much?
Enjoy your uninhabitable waters!
it's still good
ours is black
You know, you're supposed to sell naphtha, not to fish in it...
A proof of being China :3
geez why don't they simply shoot themselves, instead of dragging eveyone in their ride
At first I thought I was looking at a painting ^^
+1 to that.
I loled when I saw filtered version though.
Such beautiful and radiant colours!
Isn't it fertilizer runoff?
They can feed the poor with the algae, solve two problems at once.
Nice boat.
Anyone up for a swim?
China needs serious quality control. I honestly never want to set foot in china after seeing how much pollution it has.
Makes you wonder where the chronic eutrophication comes from :S
Most likely from fertilizers utilized by the farmers. The fertilizers run off due to the rain water and enter streams and lakes. This leads to a spike in algal growth due to the increase in levels of nitrogen (including other chemicals essential to plant growth). Then, the algae will absorb all the oxygen in the water as well as block out the sun for other organisms as they cover the surface of the water.
Then things die. Yes.
I like this explanation. Yes.
Absorb oxygen? I was under the impression Algae produces oxygen.
Photosynthesis and all that.
Yes, but then you're under the wrong impression that algae only undergo photosynthesis... all plants undergo cellular respiration as well as photosynthesis. However, photosynthesis requires light, so it happens in the day time. So what happens, is that during the day, oxygen levels would increase, while at night, it would drastically decrease as the algae takes in the oxygen and undergo cellular respiration. Also, as the amount of algae increases, the organisms which feed on said algae would increase rapidly, initially. This would lead to the further depletion of oxygen as these organisms undergo respiration. It would also lead to an increase in the concentration of biological wastes generated by said organisms.
And then things die. Again.
Thanks for clarifying. :)
Excessive use of fertilizers causes the nutrients to seep into the water supply and thus increasing the nutrients that algae gets causing an algae growth boom which blocks out the sun light causing vegetation growing at the base of the lake to die out depriving fishes of their natural food which causes them to die and rot increasing the growth of algae.
What I don't even
Is it possible to fail THIS bad at being nature-friendly?
...Apparently.
They're very green. The problem is that it's only green, all for algae, none for you silly "animals".
pfft
I lol'd
