A massive stretch of China’s Yangtze River suddenly turned red overnight on Wednesday, baffling both villagers and scientists who say this has never happened to this body of water before. Residents of Wenzhou, a southwestern industrial town in Zhejiang Province, say the river was its usual color at 4 am Thursday morning and began to turn blood red at around 6 am. According to NBC News, environmental officials are attributing the transformation to industrial pollution and an influx of silt due to recent floods. Freshwater lakes have been known to naturally turn red, but typically because of bacteria that arrives when a body of water is low in oxygen. Rivers, however, are constantly moving and mixing with the air above them so they rarely experience oxygen deprivation. Emily Stanley, a professor of limnology at the University of Wisconsin, called the reddening of China’s largest river a “pollutant phenomenon.” She told NBC, This turned out to be the explanation for when another urban Chinese river, the Jian, turned red last December. The color change came from red dye an industrial dump was illegally using for firework wrappers. But clay, she says, is probably a better bet than silt. The Yangtze River is nicknamed the “Golden Watercourse” because of the heavy rain it receives all year round, as well as rust through China’s largest industrial and commercial center, Chonqing, known as the “Mountain City.” Many residents put the red water in bottles to save it, while fishermen and others who rely on the river for work went about business as usual. via NBC News, Photos courtesy NBC This River In China Managed To Mysteriously Turn Red Overnight.
