Mostly this could be an oxygen issue, but we cant neglect other possibilities. However, we will never be able to find the reason because the lack of efficient mechanism for scientific investigations in Sri Lanka. This situation leads to wrong decisions, thereby resulting monetary losses and invaluable losses of resources and national treasures. This is quite common in most fields, specially in environmental, health, agricultural, archeological and law enforcement fields.

The lake is so polluted even the fish can't survive.

Taking of pollution, I am more worried of the Carbon Monoxide from the exhaust fumes of the buses. At time I have a feeling it will not only be CO but these bus engines will back up the carbon atoms causing a nuclear fusion. Just a joke!

Algae typically overgrows when there are too many nitrates in the water. This could either be from effluents entering the water somewhere or fertilizer being used around getting washed into the lake. Either way when the algae overgrow they take up all of the Oxygen in the lake and the fish literally starve of Oxygen.
Fish cannot come to the surface and breathe as they need Oxygen rich water to pass over their gills.

The Beira lake needs a good clean up, the water is polluted and lacks oxygen. Why not have them examine the water quality periodically, say weekly to check the condition of the water as done in most other countries . Just look at the pictures how dirty the shore line looks with all sorts of muck. Clean sand must be introduced to the 'shore line' to make it attractive.

With rain, a lot of nutrients wash into lakes. This could trigger a sudden bloom in algae population. At night, algae do not produce oxygen but consume it. This makes a low oxygen environment which could be fatal to fish. If this is the case, it is just a natural phenomenon to establish a balanced ecosystem even though it's ugly to humans (not to crows).

A classical Sri Lankan mentality. Some how find to a negative thread and ENJOY it.

Algae produce oxygen.The process called photosynthesis.Many fish feed on algae.The explanation is not scientific.

Was someone talking of cleaning the Beira Lake at a function at a very high cost using a loan. I smell something fishy!

Damn right. Lack of oxygen is the cause because the Beira is stagnant and polluted as well.
Farzan Saturday, 27 October 2012 12:00 AM
It is not due to lack of oxigen but due to water pollution. I have seen the oil in the surface of water several time. via DM Android App

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
