Algae and dead fish in Dianchi Lake, China

Taken in 2007, this picture illustrates the severe eutrophication of Dianchi Lake as a result of polluted runoff. Dianchi is China's fifth largest freshwater lake, but its water is undrinkable because of severe pollution which has led to persistent algal blooms and hypoxia.
