Well, scientists have cracked the case of what turned the waterway green in Italy. Patches of bright green water appeared in Venice’s Grand Canal over the weekend. Researchers tested the fluorescent water and it turns out it’s a substance used in water treatment. The non-toxic chemical is primarily used in underwater construction to help identify leaks. The question now authorities are trying to figure out is how that green substance got into the canal in the first place.
