First, we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around In the past, there were woods all around Lake Ponkapog, so the rainwater was clean Now there are many homes on the lake shore People often use the chemicals in their gardens They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning and killing insects There are also many businesses Businesses use chemicals in their machines or stores Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks When it rains, the rainwater flows by these homes and businesses It picks up all the chemicals and then pours them into the lake They pollute the water and kill the animal life There is still another problem at the lake: exotic plants These plants come from other countries They have no natural enemies here, and they grow very quickly In a short time, they can fill up a lake Then there is no room for other plants The plants that normally grow there die These plants gave many animals and fish their foods or their homes So now those animals and fish die, too People in Hartwell are worried They love their lake and want to save it Will it be possible?
