Why is the color of water pink?

The pink lake is not an optical illusion. Rather, it is a natural wonder. If all the lakes are compared, it will be found that all the lakes are saline. According to naturalists, the high salinity of the lake is the main factor behind the unique color.

Although the exact cause of each individual lake's pink color has not been determined, according to researchers, the lake's high salinity has allowed certain microbes to thrive in such a hostile environment. One such microbe is the halophile microalgae, also known as Dunaliella salina. With sufficient light, heat, and surface salinity of the water, these microbes produce and accumulate carotenoids such as beta-carotene. These carotenoids are what make the water pink according to their properties!
