Experts are attributing the colour change to the salinity and presence of algae in the water body. The lake, which is a notified national geo-heritage monument, has saline water with pH of 10.5. Experts say this is not the first time that the colour change has happened, but this time it is more glaring.

Gajanan Kharat, a member of the Lonar lake conservation and development committee, told PTI. “There are algae in the water body. The salinity and algae can be responsible for this change.

Kharat added, “The low level of water may lead to increased salinity and change in the behaviour of algae because of atmospheric changes…This may be the reason for colour change. This is not the first time that the colour of water has changed.
