The Blood Lake of Iraq is situated just outside Iraq’s Sadr City. This amazing red lake has led to numerous speculations that look like blood. The researchers have pointed out that the reservoir is pretty big and that they put a huge amount of blood into it to get it tainted red. However, various stories have been speculated that local butchers cut their animals, dumped their blood, and offcut into the reservoir. But that would have required a more distinctive brown tinge. Under specific circumstances, these organisms can multiply and alter the color of the water.
However, several believe that Red Lake is the result of chemical pollution. The mesmerizing look of the water could have been caused by the large-scale introduction of red compounds from industrial waste.
There is a possibility that severe increases in salt levels are known to cause water to turn blood red. It could also potentially be some sort of algae bloom. So far, only one image is available on Google earth. The exact reason for the Blood Lake’s color has not been conclusively determined, although it continues to be a matter of curiosity. To identify the precise elements causing this phenomenon, more research and environmental studies would be required.
