Beijing – Panic water buying in a major eastern Chinese city has broken out with millions hoarding drinking supplies after public taps became tainted with polluted lake water, state press reported on Thursday.北京 - 恐慌中东部的一个主要城市供水的抢购囤积打破了数百万市民的饮用水供应水龙头后，成为了与污染的湖水污染，国家媒体周四报道。
Stores in Wuxi city, Jiangsu province, began rationing sales of bottled water after the outbreak of blue-green algae contaminated the drinking supplies of the city of five million people, Xinhua news agency reported.在无锡市，江苏省，商店开始配给后，蓝绿色的藻类污染的五百万人口的城市，新华社报道了饮用水供应瓶装水的销售爆发。
The industrial city on the lower reaches of the Yangtze river relies on the once scenic Taihu lake for its drinking supplies, it said.关于长江下游的工业城市，它曾经风景秀丽的太湖湖饮用水供应依赖，故称。
“Citizens complained that tap water was so tainted and smelly that they could not wash with it,” the report said. “市民抱怨说，自来水是如此的破坏，并有异味，他们不能洗它，”报告说。
State television on Thursday showed lines of residents buying and carting off bottled water, with many shop shelves already empty.上周四国家电视台的画面显示，购买瓶装水，并用车把居民的线，许多商店货架上，已经空了。
Xinhua said the price of an 18-litre bottle of water in Wuxi sold for 50 yuan (about R50) on Wednesday, more than six times higher than the normal price of eight yuan.新华社说，一水18升在无锡50元（约合50兰特）周三，超过6倍的正常价格高出八元一瓶的价格卖出。
Water levels on Taihu lake are at their lowest in 50 years due to a lack of rain and high temperatures, while the inflow from the Yangtze river has not been strong enough to wash out the pollution, the agency said.对太湖水的水平是他们在50年由于雨水和高温缺乏最低，而从长江流入还没有强大到足以淘汰的污染，该机构说。
The lake has been under stress for years as untreated sewage from local towns and villages as well as the region's booming chemical and light manufacturing industry has left the water choked with pollutants, local press reports have said for years.湖中有压力下被从当地城镇和村庄以及该地区的蓬勃发展化工，轻工制造业留下了呛水污染物未经处理的污水里，当地媒体报道说了很多年。
Officials did not say how long the crisis would last, but one biologist said that the algae bloom in Taihu lake could last four or five months.官员并未说明危机将持续多久，但有生物学家说，在太湖蓝藻爆发可能会持续四，五个月。
“Concerning the present situation, if we don't take effective measures, the algae bloom on Taihu could last up to five months,” Hu Weiping, a biologist with Nanjing Academy of Sciences, told the China News Service. “关于当前形势下，如果我们不采取有效措施，对太湖蓝藻爆发可能长达五个月，”胡卫平与南京科学院生物学家告诉中国新闻社。
Hu said that due to a lack of incoming water, the temperatures in the lake reached the highest in 25 years in April, providing ripe conditions for the algae bloom.胡锦涛说，由于缺乏水的传入，在湖中的温度达到了25年四月份最高，为蓝藻提供了成熟的条件。
Algae blooms threaten most Chinese freshwater lakes and are chiefly caused by untreated sewage and high concentrations of nitrogen, which is a main ingredient in soap powders and fertilisers.藻类大量繁殖的淡水湖泊中最大威胁，是主要由未经处理的污水和氮，这是一个粉和肥皂的主要成分高浓度化肥造成的。 – Sapa-AFP - 萨帕-法新社
