SUMMARY:World Lake Day
DESCRIPTION:Lakes: the lifeblood of our planet\nLakes are one of the most vital natural resources on our planet. They serve as a crucial source of fresh water\, supporting drinking water supplies\, agriculture\, and industry. \nLakes also play a key role in maintaining biodiversity\, offering a habitat for countless species of fish\, plants\, and wildlife. \nBeyond their ecological significance\, lakes contribute to climate regulation by keeping the planet cool\, absorbing the floodwater and storing carbon. \nAdditionally\, they provide recreational and economic opportunities\, attracting tourism\, fishing\, and other activities that support local communities. \nBut lakes are affected by a combination of overuse\, pollution and climate change. Lake pollution is frequently caused by inflows from fertilizers\, contaminants and solid waste being dumped directly\, or flushed into lakes via rivers\, and this is worsened by global warming – leading\, for instance\, to more frequent and intense floods. \nThe water levels of lakes are also changing dramatically. Rising temperatures and changes to cloud cover\, which are leading to decreasing ice cover\, are increasing the rate of water evaporation. \nWe need to act now. \nThis first World Lake Day\, let’s be aware of the problem lakes are facing. \nLet’s protect them today for a sustaining life tomorrow. \n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\nNatural and artificial lakes contain more than 90% of the fresh water on the surface of the Earth.\nUp to 80 % of global wastewater is estimated to enter water bodies untreated with adverse impacts on human and ecosystem health.\nRain washes the nutrients in fertilizer into waterways and lakes which can lead to damaging algal blooms\, which are predicted to increase by at least 20% by 2050.\nIn half the world’s countries one or more types of freshwater ecosystems are degraded\, including rivers\, lakes and aquifers.
