Rainy season has just passed and more than 400 people dies in my country this year of dengue. Prevention is the best cure. All standing water bodies, closed or open, are potential mosquito breeding grounds. what might look clear may not always be clean. While the general method of preventing mosquito breeding has been adding certain larvae killing chemicals to water, this method also has its side effects. The chemical has been shown to be harmful to both humans and ecosystem if brought to regular use over large water bodies. Instead, introducing certain breeds of fishes that feed on the larvae and eggs can be used. this not only is greener but also more efficient and better in the aspect that mosquitoes over a time will develop immunity to the chemical, but they will never get past the fish. hope this helps.
