is green when “water conditions are favorable.” If the water has high concentrations of saline or is even exposed to a lot of light, officials say these harsh conditions will cause algae to produce what’s called protective carotenoids , such as the orange-red beta carotene, potentially turning the water pink.
Another theory? Because water levels have depleted due to evaporation caused by the dry weather, there may be more saline in the lake now than there was prior to June 2020. Officials reference Lake Urmia in Iran for this theory, where the body of water becomes red during dry seasons, creating a combo of high amounts of saline and lower water levels.
