CLEARER LAKES
More than one-third of hundreds of 25-square-km and above lakes in the world have become clearer over the past 20 years.
About 36 percent of the world's 1,049 large lakes and reservoirs saw their colors shifting from the yellow end to the blue end of the color spectrum, which generally means increasing clarity. They are concentrated in cold regions, such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, northern Europe, northern North America and southern South America.
