After years' peace, the blue alage disaster occured again! All in a flash while the urban residents of my howntown Wuxi woke up yesterday morning, only to find the tap water got stinking! And almost all the districts of the city were flooded with the smelly tap water!!

As for the case, it's an agelong problem caused by the overgrowth of blue algae. While people drained sullage into Taihu Lake, the sullage could contain nitrogen and phosphorus. While superfluous of the two were discharged into the lake, it could caused an overgrowth of algae, further deteriorating the water quality. As a result the tap water which was mainly from the Taihu Lake had gone bad and smelly as well.

Actually the case takes place every summer, but is confined with some certain districts closed with the lake and without such a big influence as this time. The biggest one occured in the past was about in 1992, which had lasted for nearly a month. I hope the disaster of this time won't be that bad...

plus: the barreled distilled water of 18 litres has risen up to 50 yuan till now.
