Lake Bustillos in northern Mexico has been subjected to a severe drop in water levels, leading to the death of thousands of fish, amid a severe drought sweeping the country.
Local authorities announced that the water level in Lake Bustillos had fallen to less than 50% of the normal level, which led to an increase in the concentration of pollutants and their danger to the species of fish and marine animals that live in the lake.
In a press statement, Irma de la Peña Meraz, head of Cuauhtémoc’s Department of Environment, said: “As the water level decreases, pollutants become more concentrated, which affects the species that live in the lake.”
Dead fish began accumulating in the cracked mud at the bottom of the lake a week ago, causing a foul odor to spread in the area, while workers cleaned up the decomposing remains amid fears of the spread of diseases.
Mexico is currently witnessing high temperatures, as dozens of cities, including the capital, Mexico, have broken records in high temperatures.
Health authorities reported that 125 people died during the current hot season, which began in mid-March.
It is noteworthy that on May 31, data from the National Water Commission showed that 89.58% of Mexican territory was suffering from moderate, severe or exceptional drought, equivalent to about two million square kilometers.
