The surface of Hongze Lake blackened and thousands of mu of fish and crabs died. A large number of dead fish flooded the bank.

In Shengli Village, Linhuai Town, Sihong County, Suqian City, a number of villagers reflected to the column that they were hairy crab farmers on the edge of Hongze Lake and were usually engaged in aquaculture in accordance with the lake. But recently, crabs, fish and shrimp in 13000 mu of crab ponds in the village have almost died overnight and are on the verge of extinction. At the same time, they found that a large amount of black sewage was pouring into Hongze Lake.

In summer and autumn, a large number of aquatic products such as crabs are about to be put on the market, which is the happiest season of the year for farmers, but on August 26, when the reporter arrived at Shengli Village, Linhuai Town, Sihong County, he felt lifeless.

There are a large number of dead fish in a deep water area two kilometers offshore, and there is a strong pungent smell in the air.

On the fishing boat bound for Shengli Village, dead fish floating on the lake can be seen from time to time, and the pungent smell is getting stronger and stronger.

When we landed on the island, dozens of farmers gathered by the lake, looking sad.

Wang Hengcun, a farmer, told reporters that at present, the whole village is facing the plight of no harvest.

In the crab pond of the farmer Wang Hengcun's home, the villagers are waving their nets to the bottom of the water, and the dead crabs are covered with the bow. These crabs could have been on the market since the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the crab pond, the reporter saw that some live crabs were still hanging on the fence.

Wang Hengcun told reporters that these surviving crabs will not last much longer.

Wang Hengcun said that his family's 150mu crab pond scattered a total of 1500 jin of crab fry, the cost invested 500000 yuan, the loss of their family this time alone reached 600,000 to 700,000 yuan, the total loss of 13000 mu of crab pond in the village, the villagers do not dare to calculate.

The old man in the village told reporters that Shengli Village, Linhuai Town, is an island in Hongze Lake, with a total of 260 villagers, of which 160 are crab farmers.

For decades, raising and selling crabs has been the main source of income for the whole village. due to the large number of Rain Water this year, hairy crabs are all growing better than in previous years.

Why are crabs growing so well on the verge of extinction?

Local villagers told reporters that two days ago, a large amount of sewage with a strong pungent smell suddenly flowed into the waters of Hongze Lake, causing almost all the fish and crabs in the village to die overnight.

Local fishermen told reporters that after the incident, Sihong County Environmental Protection Bureau and other departments also went to the field survey, through laboratory tests, villagers have been strictly prohibited from drinking the surrounding lake water.

How can the Hongze Lake water that the villagers of Shengli Village breed and eat and drink for decades suddenly turn into sewage? A secretary of Linhuai Town told reporters that after a preliminary investigation by many departments, it may be due to the flood discharge in the upper reaches of Anhui Province a few days ago.

Where on earth does sewage come from?

Who should bear the losses of 160 farmers in Hongze Lake?

After the incident, the fishermen of Shengli Village went up the river all the way upstream, and the boat was unable to move because the sluice was opened and the water was released rapidly.

The reporter set out from the waters of Hongze Lake in Shengli Village, along the river, after 60 kilometers of land and waterway, came to Sixian County, Anhui Province. The taste and color of the water here is very similar to that of Shengli Village.

The water in the Xinsui River in Sixian County, Anhui Province is darker, standing in the middle of the bridge, the same pungent smell is coming, and due to the lowering of the water level after opening the sluice gate, a large number of dead fish in the river gradually spread to the embankment.

Could this be the source of the sewage?

The reporter called the staff of the long Office of Sicheng River in Sixian County, Anhui Province, and the other party told them that the sewage seen now was just a passageway. Some time ago, without rain, the new Sui River in the Sixian section had exceeded the warning water level, and they could only continue to discharge the water from the upstream to the downstream. "We have almost no farming here, which was completely shut down a year ago. We don't have industrial drainage here, we don't have industry here. "

After sampling and bottling the river in the Sixian section of the New Sui River, the reporter continued to travel along the upstream. In Menggou Town, Lingbi County, Anhui Province, about 120 kilometers away from Shengli Village, the reporter found that three of the seven gates were releasing water, and the water level drop between the upstream and downstream at the gate was visually observed to be about five meters. The river is covered with layers of white foam, the whole section of the river is ink-colored, and a strong pungent smell can be smelled at the scene.

Does the sewage from Shengli Village flow downstream from here?

The reporter contacted the staff of the Chief Office of Suihe County, Lingbi County, Anhui Province.

The staff of the county-level river director's office of the main stream of the Suihe River in Lingbi County, Anhui Province said that no industrial enterprises have ever discharged sewage from the upper and lower reaches of the old Suihe River, and the water quality here has been very good in the past, and there is no recent data to show that the water quality of the Suihe River has deteriorated.

Local villagers told reporters that since the rainstorm 10 days ago, the rising water level has been releasing floods upstream, and the original clear water here began to blacken and stink, and almost all the fish in the river died as a result.

The old Suihe Dengou town section is formed by a number of tributaries, and there are more upstream Chahe River, which is divided into Anhui, Henan and Xuzhou.

After collecting and bottling the river water in the old Suihe town section of Huigou, the reporter immediately rushed to the Sihong County Environmental Protection Bureau and handed over two bottles of sampled water in Anhui to the quality inspection staff for analysis and comparison.
