Why is the water quality of Hangzhou West Lake so bad?

Because the West Lake is almost a completely closed lake, there is no big river connected with the outside world. Moreover, it has a history of nearly two thousand years and has entered a period of natural decline, which is called old age. After that, there will be problems of poor self-purification ability and intensified eutrophication of water bodies, which is very difficult to control.
