Crystal clear lake. Places with pure water on earth

Each man in summer heat dreams to plunge into the coolness of the purest water. Unfortunately, in the modern world, finding a clean reservoir is becoming more complicated. Nevertheless, there are places on Earth, which civilization did not touch. It is there that are the most pure reservoirs in the world. And although not all of them are suitable for swimming, still admire them - solid pleasure. Let's find out where the most pure lakes in the world are located.

Blue Lake - the cleanst lake in the world

This comparatively tiny reservoir with fresh water can be found in Nelson National Park, which is in the north of the South Alps in New Zealand. Lake acquired its fame recently, after scientists of the National Institute of Water Resources proved that it was surprisingly pure water. The visibility of the lake is simply amazing - the bottom can be seen on eighty meters of depth. Previously, this record belonged to another lake, those Weicopup Springs, which is also located on the territory of New Zealand and is famous for visibility of 63 meters.

Blue lake sparkles in the sun violet. So "work" natural filters cleansing water. Give life to lake glacial waters from the mountains.


For the first time became interested in the lake Hydrologist Rob Merriles, he provoked the public attention. After him, scientists of the National Institute joined the studies, headed which Rob Davis-Collie. Their studies gave a clear reason to argue that the water of the blue lake is the cleanest. That is why it occupies a special part of our rating.

The cleanest lakes of Russia


Any Russian people with a question about lakes with clean water, without thinking, immediately will immediately say about Baikal. And this is explained, because Baikal is the cleanest lake of Russia, which is known, besides beauty and uniqueness. The lake located in Eastern Siberia is truly unique. Water crystal purity and unusual climatic conditions created a great place of residence for many endemic animals, fish and birds, which can be found only on Baikal.


Baikal has an unusual shape in the form of a crescent. Its unusual is not only in purity of water, but also in the size and depth of the reservoir. It was Baikal that is the most deep repository of fresh water stocks on the entire planet. The lake nourishes about three hundred sources, from stormy rivers to small keys. As researchers say, the stocks of the water "pride of Russia" will be a fairly large river for four hundred years.


It is now difficult to imagine such a huge amount of fresh and, moreover, suitable for drinking water. In the modern world, to get a similar composition of water, you must use filters and cleansing systems. To get good water, it should be subjected to long processing before using. But in Baikal, the water is already suitable for drinking, and it is enriched with oxygen, and mineral substances in it so insignificant that the indicators are approximate to distilled water.

Zyuratkul coastline is 26 kilometers, the limit depth is 5 meters.

Water Zyuratkul in a volume of 80 million cubic meters is characterized by purity. This is the only source of drinking water for the local population. But, although the water of the lake is constantly updated, it cannot be considered absolutely transparent. The secret is at the bottom of Zyuratkul there are or surprisingly therapeutic properties.
