The water pearl of Armenia, the high-mountain lake Sevan, “bloomed”. The water has turned bright green and smells specific, announced “MIR 24”. This phenomenon has been observed for more than a year.
According to experts, the reason for this is the heat and low water levels, as a result of which the algae begin to bloom. According to the Center for Hydrometeorology and Monitoring, in early July, the water level in the lake dropped by three centimeters at once.
This figure is five centimeters lower than last year, which leads to an imbalance in the lake’s ecosystem.
