The algae-filled Chaohu Lake is seen in Hefei, Anhui province August 3, 2010. Almost a quarter of Chinas surface water remains so polluted that it is unfit even for industrial use, while less than half of total supplies are drinkable, according to data from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the unsettling reality of Chaohu Lake in Hefei, Anhui province. Taken on August 3,2010, it showcases the alarming extent of pollution as algae fills the once pristine waters. The image serves as a powerful reminder that almost a quarter of China's surface water remains so contaminated that it is deemed unsuitable even for industrial purposes. Shockingly, less than half of the country's total water supply is safe to drink. The Ministry of Environmental Protection has provided data revealing these distressing statistics about China's water quality crisis. This photograph highlights the urgent need for environmental action and sustainable practices to protect our planet's most vital resource - water. The serene beauty of Chaohu Lake has been marred by pollution caused by various factors such as industrial waste and agricultural runoff. It serves as a poignant visual representation of the consequences when human activities neglect nature's delicate balance. As we reflect upon this image, let us be reminded that preserving clean and drinkable water sources should be at the forefront of our collective efforts towards sustainability. Only through responsible actions can we hope to restore lakes like Chaohu and ensure future generations have access to safe drinking water while safeguarding our environment from irreversible damage.
