Algae and Weed on the City Park Lake

Saturday, June 6, 2020
Algae cover the lake surface

We visited city lake close to our former university several times a year. In recent visit, we found:
- Algae covers almost entire lake surface
- Weed seems decrease in number compared to previous visit.

In case of algae, it is said the algae is include in blue green algae species which contain dangerous poison called “microcystin.”

Blooming of Blue green algae due to several factors:
- excessive nutrient inflow to the lake
- temperature increase due to season
- shallowness of lake makes water warm easily.

Uncontrolled blooming has impacted on environment in general, at least to lower the aesthetic values of the lake. 


Blue green algae produces poison

Abundance of weed and algae not only affect on aesthetic value, but also have direct effect on:
- fish population due to present of dangerous poison, microcystin.
- swimming movement of people
- boating recreations
- other types of visitors and recreational activities.

Government and local communities have planning to clean up the lake as soon as possible. Project cost is estimated about US$ 50 million.

Hope, the lake back to its previous, natural condition sooner than later!

  4. That's a lot of money--I hope it's a very large lake. Residential use of fertilizer and pesticides that end up in lakes create a challenge. This is especially true around golf courses-I wouldn't eat the fish out of any of the lakes/ponds/lagoons on my island.

  13. Here's hoping that the lake returns to normal soon. $50 million is a lot, but hopefully it will remain clean after the clean up is done.

  20. What a beautiful landscape with those algae! I really liked it, it serves to clear the mind. A kiss and we read

  21. Hope the lake can be restored back to normal soon! Here we sometimes have blue green algae outbreaks in the bay - we can't always play by the water when we want to!

    Hope you are having a lovely weekend :) It's a rainy winter day here!

  32. I've seen this kind of algae bloom on my dad's pond. He ended up using a blue chemical to clear it up. The fish seem to be fine. Hope this lake gets restored soon!
