Kansas Lakes in Algae Alert | Wichita News

Kansas is facing a dangerous blue-green algae outbreak, with five lakes now under official warnings—meaning no contact with the water—and five more on watch, where you should avoid visible algae scum. These blooms can kill aquatic life, deplete oxygen, and release toxins causing rashes, vomiting, and headaches in humans and pets. New additions to the affected list include Clinton Lake, Lake Charles, Marion Reservoir, Waconda Lake, Melvern Outlet River Pond, and Neodesha Riverwalk Park Pond. Always check official advisories before heading to any lake—your health depends on it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
