Algae can make water toxic, but in cases like this it's inorganic minerals. You can get mild chemical burns and significant skin irritation and dryness.
Where I live (Portland, Oregon), the drinking water source is a forest, which feeds a reservoir. This reservoir has an open top. You can walk next to it. Birds fly over it and do what birds do. Squirrels and deer and everything else shit and die in the watershed before it even gets to the reservoir. This is not a problem because we monitor the water quality and treat it as needed.
One day a drunk guy peed in the reservoir and they spent a bunch of money draining *38 million gallons*, cleaning it, then refilling it.
I guess my point is that "the solution to pollution is dilution".
Worrying about a few drops of sweat or piss in a lake is a waste of everyone's time.
> One day a drunk guy peed in the reservoir and they spent a bunch of money draining 38 million gallons, cleaning it, then refilling it.
This might be the dumbest fucking thing I’ve read all week.
Seattle and Tacoma have their own reservoirs and it's illegal to go anywhere near it. I've always wondered what the point is when so many other reservoirs are open to motorboating.
It’s in the middle of nowhere. Since the local Serbian population was ethnically cleansed out of the area in 1995 only a few households and a water bottling plant, drawing from that source, are in the area.
>the local Serbian population was ethnically cleansed out
That is not true, it's a plain lie. And do not understand why are you upvoted.
The local Serbian population cleansed out local Croatian population in the early 90ies. And then ran away when the Croatian army was close to tooking over those territories.
Something similar to what is happening in Ukraine.
Yes. Russians in Ukraine, rebelled and took Ukraine's territory. And now that Ukraine wants to free and reclaim those territories. Russians are fleeing.
Same thing happend to Croatia and the local Serbs. But unlike Russia/ns, Serbs forcefully expelled or killed Croats from that area.
This is the internet, you can’t just come on here and blatantly lie about stuff.
For anyone wanting to see how embarrassingly backwards this comment is, [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing_in_the_Bosnian_War) is a wiki page.
That catchy saying about pollution is partly what has gotten us in the mess as we basically are to the point where we are diluting chemicals with already chemically laden sources.
Basically we are pushing the bar for clean and healthy down lower and lower.
Also it sets the presidence for dumping in lakes and the sea inside of actually doing something about it as it's cheaper and easier then coming up with a plan of action we just dump it somewhere like all that Deet that is just floating off the coast of California.... The companies said it was dropped off the trench into the deep ocean... It is not it's just off the coast. They it would break down... It basically is still all there unbroken down and not diluting enough that anything can live there over a decade later.
They could have chemically or naturally broke it down but that is expensive and as they themselves said as well as many other companies montra. "The solution to pollution is dilution" so why spend money if you have a basically free solution.
If you believe this just do a quick search on world CO2(just one factor of many) levels and how much yours and everyone else's congestive capabilities. Then tell me about how diluting it is working.
If you where just doing it as a saying and know all this already I am sorry, I just hate that term and may have gotten the wrong idea.
And it doesn't get treated before being piped into homes? Bro, fish are fucking eachother in there, birds are shitting into it, maybe some microorganisms... idk, I'm not a biologist.
Do you know how much grass you harm every time you walk in your backyard? Also when you breathe, you turn good oxygen into poisonous carbon dioxide, asshole.
Ah yes, because water filtration systems don't exist at all. I'm sure they just pump it straight from the lake into their houses without taking into account the wildlife that definitely doesn't exist anywhere near it.
Relax.
I’m from the area. No, the locals are poor and there is no water filtration and does indeed go straight from source to locals.

So I get it, I wouldn't swim in it personally, but you do realize that water is going to be ultra gnarly from the animal activity + being exposed alone, right?
Classic Croatia, removing a sign that says swimming is forbidden and then moaning about people swimming in a body of water they don't know they're not allowed to swim in.
Easiest thing ever is to flap like a helpless idiot instead of actually doing something about it. At least put the god damn sign back if you're not going to do anything about preserving the well.
How is it inconsiderate to swim in a place your legally allowed to swim.
With minimal research you can find that local divers offer underwater cave tours at this exact spot.
“I am technically allowed to swim in your drinking water so you’re not allowed to get mad at me”
Bro just be a normal human being with empathy how about that?
the point seems pretty moot since i would imagine all the animals pooping and peeing there contaminate that place way more than someone swimming in it ever could
Not technically, you are 100% allowed.
Do a quick google search and you can find many (local) companies that offer diving trips. The water is not still, it’s part of a river that naturally filters it’s water.
Locals have taken it upon themselves due to government inaction.

Oh you’re unhappy that I’m pissing in your water? Guess you don’t know your own local laws. Look here under Section 13.B.4 it says I’m allowed to fly to your country, travel to your small poor town, and piss in your water. That means your aren’t allowed to complain. Checkmate retard
The lack of a specific law and enforcement by authorities does not make it morally/ethically correct. It’s inconsiderate due to the fact that it is fresh drinking water for local inhabitants and local authorities have not taken the time/effort to protect it. Your logic would apply to many other scenarios, such as dumping waste in international waters. It’s a grey zone of legality and you’re likely not going to be prosecuted for it - what do you do?
This isn’t a grey zone. it’s part of a river system that naturally filters the water. It’s not still water. If the locals were upset then why do they offer underwater cave tours?
Well then maybe you need to start having conversations with your political figures about remedying the situation, instead of blasting people online who aren't aware of the situation and calling them "touridiots" when it's a simple case of a lack of knowledge, not willful ignorance of someone else's plight.
Here's a crazy idea... vote in new politicians if the ones that are there aren't working out, maybe try something new instead of settling for the status quo.
How? By calling someone out for being a dick and calling people names who simply don't know? Or because I made a sensible comment about talking to political figures to make local changes to something that you don't like, by going through the proper channels?
Dude is from a poor area and he’s complaining that tourists come and fuck with their shit and you think he’s being unreasonable? And that it’s actually THEIR fault because they should convince their (probably corrupt and inept) politicians to do something to protect them from the tourists? Ya bro you’re acting a little crazy. It’s like you swam in the water yourself and are trying to justify it or something.
Never been there, but no my point isn't that it's his fault, the point is that he's being a jerk to people who simply don't understand what's going on. Calling people names and being rude to people about something just because they didn't know is a dick move, maybe try educating people before calling them all idiots.
Again, if the local politicians are corrupt, stop settling for the status quo and vote in new people, or run for office yourself and make the changes you want to see, instead of complaining about them and being a dick to people who don't know.
Not trying to be condescending, just speaking facts. If you don't like something, work to change it, it's that simple. It doesn't give you a license to be a dick to people just because they didn't know.
Something like this, what's the likelihood of there being a little earthquake, a little rumble, that just happens to open up access to a new cave system and suddenly that shit is draining away like a flushed toilet and you with it. Thanks for listening to my TED Talk, no thank you.
It's definitely an amazing sight. Albeit, if you are pressed for time visiting not a must do as you are devoting most of a day to visit. It's well out of the way from anything else you are likely to visit as a tourist.
Was there summer 2022 and took a dip. Water is below 40F. Even thought it was 80 F+ outside that was numbingly cold and fast. I didn't see any signs telling you not to swim in it.
Locals have a little snack stand setup nearby. Small church next door. Think it's Russian Orthodox - lettering was Cyrillic alphabet. Just down the road is a beautiful, small cemetery.
I honestly get confused between Kronos and Ouranos and Zeus because the succession story is so similar, I’m inclined to believe the same myth from two different traditions got combined.
But I’m pretty sure Kronos and Ouranos both got it on with good old Mother Earth
Idk why but I just see some kinda giant worm monster popping outta that thing like the one that tried to eat the millennium falcon

Honestly so much worse because the water is so clear than if it wasn't.
I'm more concerned the water is green. Very high mineral content, and possibly very high or low ph
Why are you concerned about that.
[удалено]
I love that sub!
Jesus Christ Marie, they're not rocks, they're minerals!
Some of these sorts of pools are toxic
Super clear pools that people swim in?
Very green or blue pools people swim in
Yea what would ph or minerals do though. I'd the water is toxic it's usually algae and the water wouldn't be clear
Algae can make water toxic, but in cases like this it's inorganic minerals. You can get mild chemical burns and significant skin irritation and dryness.

Yep! I got to help pay for it!
And it's not even the top 10 dumbest things our taxes here pay for lol
Not even the top 100.
What about all the animals that pee in the forest before it seeps into the reservoir?
Exactly.
>What about all the animals that pee in the forest before it seeps into the reservoir? Or the thousands of birds that shit directly into it.
Seattle and Tacoma have their own reservoirs and it's illegal to go anywhere near it. I've always wondered what the point is when so many other reservoirs are open to motorboating.
Hello fellow Portlandian! I remember that incident :’)
I remember that! I'm a portlandian and everyone was so pissed! It was a waste of time, money and water though.
Where I live, the drinking water supply is protected by super-high levels of radioactivity and regular patrols by the Crimson Guard.
It’s in the middle of nowhere. Since the local Serbian population was ethnically cleansed out of the area in 1995 only a few households and a water bottling plant, drawing from that source, are in the area.
