## Resource

Kansas is grappling with dangerous blue-green algae blooms in a dozen lakes, prompting urgent health warnings and advisories from state agencies. Lakes like Marion Reservoir, Pomona Lake, and Wellington Lake are under active warnings, with Pomona Lake even closing its swim beach due to the threat. Others, including Augusta Santa Fe Lake and Clinton Lake, are on watch, signaling potential risks. These toxic blooms can appear as foamy scum in vivid colors and can emerge rapidly—so if you spot unusual water or dead algae, stay away and keep pets off the water. If contact occurs, rinse off immediately with fresh water and report any health incidents right away. Stay informed to protect yourself and your family while enjoying the outdoors safely.
