    Gotta love the 2 other comparably sized pools in this image that don’t have the alge.

    I don’t understand why they don’t paint it yellow? The green algae and the yellow paint will make it look blue.

    The algae multiplied. Who could have predicted they would do that? It was an entirely novel strategy.

      How could algae have learned to multiply? We’re eliminating the department of education to prevent problems like this from reoccurring in the future.

    The other bodies of water in this picture are what interest me. Both the Pond and the Tidal Basin look bluer, showing what it would have looked like. Now it’s the color of grift.

      They’re probably also deeper, which both provides a less ideal environment for algae to grow and also looks bluer despite algae that might be growing. The water in the tidal basin is also moving and has water naturally flowing in and out. The reflecting pool does not have that and needs to be shallow so that water movement is minimized to create the reflection it’s supposed to give.

        Yes the Basin is more “wild,” fair enough.

        The Pond is also shallow and manmade, with a similar water system, so it’s a truer comparison.

          I’m not sure if it changed, but the reflecting pool was modified to be fed by the tidal basin during Obama’s presidency.

    Algae produce a shitload of oxygen, so it’s super eco-friendly

      except it causes a feedback, eutrophication effect. teh algae dieback, and the consumption of oxygen by bacteria when the alge decomposies causes deadzone in the water. this is not that bad, since its manmade and not connected to another natural water system.
