Hundreds of Fishes Found Dead in Lakes Due to Summer Heat in Telangana

The summer heat is costing farmers dearly as fish are dying in lakes in Telangana, resulting in significant losses.

Due to the rising temperatures, water in lakes, including Polkamma Cheruvu and Kamuni Cheruvu, is becoming extremely hot,



leading to the mass death of fish.

With the increase in temperature, the solubility of dissolved oxygen decreases, and its availability diminishes. Simultaneously, the rise in temperature increases metabolism, thereby increasing the oxygen demand.
