The lake in Sao Paulo’s iconic Ibirapuera Park has turned green in recent weeks, as Brazil grapples with a historic drought, both amusing and alarming parkgoers.
A lake in Sao Paulo ’s iconic Ibirapuera Park has turned green due to an algal bloom stemming from low water levels amid historic drought and record high temperatures in Brazil. Its verdant color stems from a combination of an algal bloom, abundant nutrients, high temperatures and a lack of rain in the Brazilian metropolis, City Hall said in a statement Thursday. It added that the lake’s low water level makes it harder for a pump to remove the algae.
Considered Sao Paulo’s biggest park, Ibirapuera lies close to the city’s center. It is home to the Afro Brazil Museum and the pavilion that hosts the Sao Paulo Art Biennial. The lake has been called “the park’s soul.” Many paulistanos, as Sao Paulo’s residents are known, like to exercise near it each day, and thousands of families come on weekends for picnics and to play sports in the area.
