Of course, in this case, the water that was involved is all contaminated. It’s contaminated with biologicals, with chemicals, the salt water itself.

Does anyone know what the preliminary plans are for getting rid of the water? Clearly the pumps have to be working and the levee repaired.... but there is that niggly problem of the water being so totally polluted. Will it not all have to be totally treated? I can't imagine that it can just be pumped out into the gulf in its present condition.

I heard they were trying to separate the really bad water, some sensors or something, the rest goes in the Lake -- poor fish.

There is no way to clean that much water. It is being pumped directly into the lake. Those pumps are big enough for bodies to pass through.
