Officials are conducting tests at a drinking water reservoir in California, after dead fish were found floating there.
The Lake Elsinore & San Jacinto Watersheds Authority (LESJWA) announced on Wednesday evening it had launched an investigation into oxygen levels at Canyon Lake. The reservoir, in southern California, has historically suffered from algae blooms, which can cause environmental concerns, according to the LESJWA website. |

"A fish die-off, is one of the first visible signs of environmental stress when dead fish are found floating on the surface of water or washed up on the shore," a statement said. "The most common cause of a fish die-off is the depletion of dissolved oxygen in a body of water." |
