Hotline portal tut.by Novolukoml asked residents of Vitebsk region and spoke about the strange phenomenon. A few days ago in the water Lukomlskoe lake (which is located on the shore of the town and the thermal power plant) appeared divorces white and green colors, and part of the coast is painted in rich turquoise color.
Shooting water and the shores of the portal reader did Novolukoml Dmitry Astashka. "The water around the shore of the lake is heavily polluted. Residents of cities and other settlements located next to the pond, are seriously concerned about his condition," - says the man. Mora fish in the lake is not fixed, reported in Lepel Interdistrict Inspectorate protection of flora and fauna.
It is worth noting that on the lake is the largest hydroelectric power station in Belarus - Lukomalskaya TPP. Right beside built special channel through which water from the lake is fed to the station for cooling. Ago, she returned to the reservoir with high temperature by 8-12 degrees. A large area of water helps the water evenly mixed, nevertheless the overall temperature in the reservoir is almost always 2-3 degrees higher than in the other lakes.
As we found out in Chashniki rayinspektsii natural resources, such a phenomenon may be the result of the thermocline in Belarus over the past few days. Warm weather with conventional heating water from work TPP could cause rapid multiplication of blue-green algae. Simply put, the "bloom" of water.
- This situation is observed in the lake every year, but this year the bloom turned even more rapid. We have already visited the site and were inspected. Water is indeed reminiscent of mucus. Tomorrow, a number of measurements made by specialists from Vitebsk laboratory. Sanitation center last week took on bacteria analysis and indicators showed no exceedances. Will be conducted another test. Probably provoked weather "bloom." This is normal and reservoirs, and there is almost a technical pond. As we can, explain, as the locals are worried: we say that the algae, and our response - oil! But in order not to be unfounded, in the coming days we will study the chemical composition of water and be able to tell the exact cause, - reported in the inspection.
