    Water pollution. Many aquatic vegetables such as lotus root, water chestnuts, and mushrooms are surrounded by rice fields, and the use of methamidophos on rice has not been banned. Because most of the irrigation water is skewer irrigation and drainage, some lotus root ponds also serve as temporary water storage, which gives methamidophos a chance to flow into the lotus root pond and pollute the water quality.
