Tanganyika Lake, which lies in East Africa is the second oldest and deepest lake in the world second. Lake water was reported to have experienced warming that has never happened before with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius. Rising temperatures cause a decline in fish stocks, this is threatening the lives of about 10 million people who live near the lake. Most of the population livelihood as fishermen, as written in livescience.com on Sunday (16 / 5). According to researchers from Brown University, global warming is thought to be the cause of decreased productivity of the lake. Warm water had damaged the unique ecosystem that is naturally occurring. This temperature rise is the highest in the period of 1500 years.
Lake Tanganyika about 13 million years old has a depth of nearly 1.5 kilometer borders with Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, and Zambia. The lake is formed when two pieces of continental crust split, then spread until it became basins for millions of years. This rift is part of a huge slit in Africa which in turn could mention creating a new sea. Unfortunately the lake is only just being exploited. God commands us to till the earth, not only to exploit its natural wealth alone.
