Blue green algae raged through Wuhan

www.chinanews.cn 2007-06-06 15:24:29

Chinanews, Beijing, June 6 �C Environmental pollution has become a
serious problem in China. Weeks ago, the Taihu Lake in Wuxi was polluted
by a large area of blue green algae that formed after a company threw
pollutants into the lake. Recently, another blue green algae pollution
occurred in Wuhan, causing 100,000 kilograms of fish in a fishery to die.
The owners of the fishery suffered a great financial loss, CCTV
international channel reported.
The owners of the fishery, Xia Xiaofang and four others in Xiajiazui
Village in Caidian District of Wuhan, borrowed 300,000 yuan from a bank
early this year. They used the money to buy some fries to raise in their
fishing pond, hoping that when the fries grew up, they could sell them to
make some money.
Days ago, a torrential rain swept Wuhan. The Tanzhou Pumping Station in
Hanyang District started to open their watergate to release the flood.
Since Tanzhou Pumping Station is located in the same river as the fishing
pond but sits in the upper part, large amounts of rain water spewed into
the fishing pond. The dirty water led to an outbreak of blue green algae
in the fishing pond. According to the estimation of the local
environmental bureau, fishing department and fishermen, at least 100,000
kilograms of fish died in the unexpected incident. The fishermen suffered
from 700,000 yuan of economic loss.
