>The white puffy foam, which carries with it a variety of health problems for residents -- as well as a pungent and inescapable stench -- began spilling out of Varthur Lake, located near the city's busy Whitfield Road intersection, Saturday.
>A protective wire fence had been erected around the foamy banks of the lake and nearby rivers, but proved of little use as the winds picked up, carrying the foam above the fence and onto the streets.
>"The frothing in the lake clearly shows there is mismanagement. There is a sustained flow of untreated sewage and industrial waste going into the lakes," said TV Ramachandra, coordinator of the Energy and Wetlands Research Group, at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore.
>"When sewage gets into the water body, nutrients, in the form of nitrogen and phosphorus go in too. The nitrogen is taken by the plants in the water, while the phosphorus gets trapped in the sediment. The rainfall and the high wind velocity churn the lakes, and the phosphorus that is trapped in the sediment is released, creating the foam,"added Ramachandra.
Not only is the foam made of sewage, it is also made of cancer.

What other country has to build a fence to keep poo foam away from the road? And they fail at that even?
Joseph Evans
The poo in the streets has to be cleaned somehow.
Brayden Carter
The good news poo foam is flammable. A lake caught on fire last year from this same phenomenon. This helps make the cleanup easy, except burning poo foam fumes also cause cancer.

This is the super high tech modern city in India. They have actual indoor plumbing.
They just don't treat their sewage and dump it right into the lake raw.
