In China, a river that has sustained water clean enough to
drink mysteriously turned red overnight, shocking residents and officials. Residents
of the area claim the phenomenon has never happened before, and the colour
change was not caused by an industrial contamination. The river is located in
Xinmeizhou village, Cangnan County in eastern China’s Zhejiang province.
A local said the water looked normal
at 4am, but then suddenly, within the space of a few minutes, the water
started turning darker and eventually was completely red. The local said they
used to catch fishes as well as drink the water because it was normally good.
China Radio International reports that Wenzhou Environmental
Protection Bureau inspectors have taken samples for analysis.
A professor of Limnology (the study of inland waters) at the
University of Wisconsin Emily Stanley told LiveScience that “It looks like a
pollutant phenomenon. Water bodies that have turned red very fast in the past
have happened because people have dumped dyes into them”.
The conversation on social media is that it was the start of
The Apocalypse but officials claim it was as a result of sand distribution due
to upstream flooding.
