Sorso, environmental alarm: yellow waters in the Platamona pond
Mayor Demelas: "Perhaps the cause of the phenomenon is a flowering of algae due to drought and high temperatures"Environmental alarm in the beautiful natural oasis of the natural pond of Platamona , belonging to the municipality of Sorso .
For a few days the waters have taken on a yellowish color. This has worried the many people who frequent the trails and the beautiful surrounding pine forest. The municipal administration of Sorso is already aware of the problem and through Lega Ambiente has already invested the Department of Marine Biology of the University of Sassari, which is carrying out all the checks that the case requires.
"We are thinking of an algal bloom, the excessive prolongation of the drought phenomenon and the temperatures that are too high - says the mayor of Sorso Fabrizio Demelas -. But at the moment we cannot draw certain conclusions. We have to wait a few more days".
A possible proliferation of algae could create a lack of oxygen. Someone, even on social media, claims to have already seen dead fish on the surface.
