Y entonces de que sirve que este el INGUAT si no hace nada por todos los atractivos turisticos en Guatemala!!!! a caso solo para robar dinero....!!!!

[helplakeatitlan]

Bueno el problema es un poco mas complicado que involucrar el Inguat or culpar restaurantes y hoteles... La primera cosa que sorprende es que no hay ni una institucion que lleva analysis o que sigue el pulso del lago... Esto le deberia corresponder a AMSCLAE por dicha institucion todavia no ha encontrado su lugar en el mejengue de instituciones que velan o que tiene que ver con el lago (lista no exhaustiva CONAP, MARN, INAB, AMSCLAE, ALCALDES, OCRET,agregamos a esto una poblacion poca educada

@ssgo007 y cuanto dinero te roban a vos?

por que no mejor nos juntamos todos para ser mas limpios y rescatar nuestros patrimonios. saludos

Que tristeza me da ver como muere frente a nuestros ojos el que algun dia fue el lago mas bello del mundo, porque asi como se esta poniendo dudo que le sigan atribuyendo ese nombre! Que colera y verguenza qu'el gobierno o las instituciones que tienen el poder y la capacidad de hacer algo no esten haciendo NADA y los que quisieramos poder hacer algo, no podemos!!!! Como es posible que dejen morir asi su propio pais, nuestro legado!! Guate podria ser aun mas bella si se ocuparan de ella!

NUTRIENTS (N and P) are the problem.

MICRO Nutrients (Fe, etc.,) are the solution.

Nualgi contains Silica.

Only Diatoms require silica, so only they will bloom.

Ventilators are manmade solution.

Diatoms are a natural solution.

In nature how do fish get oxygen and food?

Diatoms are responsible for 50% of oxygen and 50% of food in lakes and oceans.

Nualgi has been used for past 5 years.

Diatoms are present in all waters in the world, Arctic, antarctic, pacific, etc.

Adding micro nutrients is what caused the main problems. What if other species bloom too? Wanting simple and fast solutions is the main problem in this lake (and in most Guatemala). Did you know how much the "ventilators" installed cost, and what happened to one of them the next day of its installation? That was an example of a simple solution that didn't work. We need to study & think very well before investing in something that has worked in other places, it's relative when it comes to nature.

[nualgi]

It is that simple. :)

We are not introducing any new species.

Diatoms present in the lake will bloom.

We are not adding diatoms only silica and micro nutrients.

Nualgi will work in any lake, river, esturary, ocean, etc., anywhere in the world.

There is not an iota of doubt about this.

All oligotrophic lakes have dominant blooms of Diatoms, we are only bringing back the diatoms and not doing anything new.

Unfortunately people do not want simple solutions.

[Liconides]

Is not that simple. When you introduce a new species, specially into a previously oligotrophic lake, you have to take into account many other factors such as pH, temperature, NO2, NO3, PO4, plankton species, macro-vertebrates species, water resilience, cyanobacteria's behavior and life cycle and many others. It can't be affirmed it'll work in this lake too.

Es Lyngbya, no Lymgbia.

con este presidente huevitos de agua, q ni la violencia para, q futuro tendremos!!!!

[maximon2]

Claro que nadie hara nada porque asi es el modo en Guatemala. Se ha perdido el encanto de los pueblos de Guatemala, sus rios, sus manglares, sus selvas, su linda arquitectura de antañoy se tirado basuro por todos lados.

Con la violencia y la imparable contaminacion del medio ambiente, no hay duda que Guatemala puede decir "Adios turismo!"

Please see our video about Nualgi.

This is good solution to the problem of Cyanobacteria blooms.

We cause a controlled and steady bloom of Diatom Algae to prevent sudden blooms of Cyanobacteria.

Diatoms do not accumulate in water and they increase the Dissolved Oxygen level.

Diatoms are consumed by zooplankton and these by fish, thus fish population will increase.
