The renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool cost an estimated $14 million and was supposed to deal with the algae problem which has been affecting the landmark for years. However, despite the pool being drained, the bottom of the pool recoated, and a nanobubbler filtration system installed, the green algae has already returned.
Visitors to the Washington D.C. landmark have noted that the water is noticeably green merely days after the pool was re-opened to the public. It was supposed to be “American flag blue” Plenty of people shared photos and videos showing the swamp-looking water, “It is greener than the grass and the trees,” influencer “_rxntz_” (AKA Brad) stated in a video posted to Instagram. He shared photos he swears are unedited which show the hue of the water.
