Why the Moselle remains spared from Blaua Elder this year
Why the Moselle remains spared from Blaua Elder this year
Is the Moselle protected from returning the blue algae?
The Moselle has been lucky this year. Thanks to the heavy rains, the watercourse has so far been spared the dreaded phenomenon of the blue algae, which have caused green streaks in recent years. However, this Situation raises the question: Can changes in the weather and the environment bring back this green plague?
meaning of the blue algae and their effects
The blue algae, which appeared for the first time in the Moselle for the first time in 2017, are actually not real algae, but are among the cyanobacteria or plankton. If they multiply massively, these microorganisms can form a so -called blue algae flower. This often leads to a significant clouding of the water and represents a serious problem for the water quality and the ecosystem of the Moselle.
regional effects of other waters
Although the Moselle has been spared so far, unpleasant conditions have already developed in some bathing lakes in Rhineland-Palatinate. The locals and tourists had to experience how the water became unusable due to the spread of blue -green algae, which can lead to a decline in the number of visitors and thus to economic losses.
Potential Return of the Schlieren
A look into the future remains worrying. The experts from the State Office for the Environment (LFU) dealt with the topic of the blue -grade flowers and pointed out that the Moselle is not immune to a return of the green streaks. Factors such as temperature rise and nutrient input into the water could make the conditions for renewed spread. Therefore, it remains to be seen how the weather conditions and the water quality will develop in the course of summer.
local political relevance
In view of the challenges that the blue algae bring with it, a proactive act of action is required for the municipalities on the Moselle. The construction and horticultural offices are faced with the task of taking suitable measures in order to monitor the water quality and, if necessary, to act preventivelyThe current situation clearly shows how important it is to keep an eye on the natural resources and their changes. In the long term, the goal must be to secure the quality of life in the region and also to protect the natural areas.
FAZIT
While the Moselle has so far not shown any visible influence of the blue algae this year, the concern for the return of the health -damaging bacteria remains. It is now due to those responsible and the population to protect water quality and to react to changes in nature.
