A city woke up to find its river running blood red and nobody can quite explain it.
According
to locals in the area, the water was normal as at 4am, but by the time
it was 6am, the water had turned a frightening shade of red. An elderly
resident who has lived by the river all his life says it has never
happened before.
Industrial contamination has
been ruled out because there are no chemical plants along it length.
Now environment protection officials in the Chinese city of Wenzhou
are taking water samples to find out what is going on. Wenzhou is a
well-known town in East China’s Zhejiang Province. The place is
surrounded by mountains on three sides with the front of the city facing
the Pacific ocean.
The phenomenon echoes a
similar incident in 2012 when the Yangtze River in China also changed
colour. Officials claimed the blood-red waters were a result of sand
distribution due to upstream flooding but sceptics were not convinced
and social media sites were full of bizarre theories including one that
it was the start of The Apocalypse.
*What could have
happened?phototrick or Chinese wayo to get on the world map?anyone could
have a emptied bags of red chemical into the water.
