This was to convey the fragility of the planet's water supply. "It's terrifying and awful when you realize that billions of tons of pollutants are flowing down the Niagara River every day," Moore said.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the abject stupidity demonstrated in this statement, since the artist likely didn't pay much attention in math class, but...

... Niagara Falls drops 150,000 gallons of water every second, or 12,960,000,000 gallons per day.

... one billion tons of water is 239,808,153,477 gallons.

In other words, it takes about eighteen and a half days for only one billion tons, let alone "billions" of tons, of water to flow over Niagara Falls. So in order for "billions of tons of pollutants to flow down the Niagara River in a single day, a goodly portion of the countryside of New York and Canada would have to be flooded with 100% pure pollutants.

Perhaps the water is super-saturated with Moore's "art"...

Pollutants falling over the Niagara Fall?!
Sounds like a whole lotta aerification going on.

Here's a camping tip: when retrieving water from a mountain stream use a waterfall or white water source to avoid giardia.
