More than 18 millions tons of excrement of the tilapia fishes receive the big lake Nicaragua every month. Junk of industries and other garbages are thrown by the nearest towns to the lake.

Many villagers say that if this continues (the tilapia breeding) the lake is going to finished contaminated. If damages continue, the lake may not be healed and might get dried, say experts. The tilapia breeding is a big business worldwide and has many economical earnings. The earnings that this enterprise receive is greater because they do not invest nothing for keeping sane the lake. The water of this big lake is still drinkable and is not much contaminated. The deputy of the National Assembly, Jarquín Anaya wrote a letter to the president Bolaños, expressing him that the next year the water of this lake is going to be used for drinking.
