A Victorian wetland turning milky blue recently made headlines, and it all started with a Snap.
In a recent Yahoo News article, Melbourne Water launched an investigation after receiving a report through Snap Send Solve. Locals had spotted that the entire wetland near Werribee had suddenly changed colour, turning a cloudy, unnatural shade of blue-grey.
That single Snap set off a chain reaction. Melbourne Water quickly launched an investigation, joined by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Victoria and Wyndham City Council. Water samples are now being tested to determine the cause, with potential sources including stormwater runoff or chemical discharge.
Events like this highlight just how important community reporting can be. Sudden changes in water colour or quality can signal serious issues, not just for the environment, but for public health and wildlife. Catching these changes early helps authorities respond faster and limit potential damage.
