The real foamy Apocalypse.

The streets of Bangalore, a major administrative centre in the South of India, filled with toxic foam from the local lakes.

The accident was caused by heavy downpour. Water overflowed from two urban lakes Belandur and Water. She foamed and began to fill the nearby streets.

The foam is toxic and smells awful, local media reported, because the lake is contaminated by sewage. Foam appears when mixed ammonia, phosphates and oxygen.

Lake Bellandur appeared in the news as one of the most polluted in India. Once the surface was on fire because of oil pollution. Cleaning of the lake has allocated about $ 7 million, but the city authorities have not yet taken the necessary measures. Installation for wastewater treatment will appear here only in 2020.
