The lake, which changes color to blood red in Texas this summer is not a sign of end times. Despite doomsday for mankind has not yet arrived, the popularity of the area known as the location for recreation and fishing, there will likely end.
Dry season causes the lake OC Fisher Reservoir, San Angelo State Park in West Texas is almost dry. Water remains stagnant, filled with dead fish, and dark red like blood.
Some people believe the color change in the reservoir as an early sign of doom, but officials at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries said the red color comes from Chromatiaceae bacteria, which thrive daiam minimal water of oxygen. "It's very sad," said Charles Cruz, of Texas Parks and Wildlife in San Angelo, Texas.
Texas is facing a major drought this summer. Nearly 75 percent of the region suffered tremendous drought. The highest level, according to the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC).
The water in the reservoir OC Fisher is never full, but the lake was filled with sun fish, bass, catfish, and a variety of targeted fish that many anglers.
"We have surveyed the lake last year, and populations of fish in it very well," Cruz said. "It is sad to see the surface of the lake continues to drop and watch the bass floating dead fish."
Last week the lake was turned into a small pond as deep as several meters. Thousands of dead fish floating, and there was no sign of life.
American states that wish the condition improved slightly in the presence of Don tropical storm last week. But the storm brought only a little rain in the area near the beach. Drought has led to several reservoirs in west Texas dry.
Karen Banks, 59 years, residents of Texas who works near the lake, the less said the lake surface. "Everyone says the lake was like a pool of mud," she said. *** [LIVESCIENCE | KORAN TEMPO 3610]
