Experts have concluded that the lake bottom has become too sandy instead of having the fine clay-like soil that the lotus require.70 viewsMethane gas is also on the increase and there's a lack of oxygen due to the layers of dead lotus plants.

However, in summer 2016, these lotus plants died. Cause remained a mystery for a while until experts concluded it was due to sandy soil.70 views
