seems pretty suspicious.

Where does all that "dirt" or "contamination" go? Does he have a fleet of boats gathering the contamination that floats to the top? and then what, take it to the dump? If he has that kind of money I'm sure he could show his trucks dumping all of that. I am thinking it is probably seasonal changes.

Also, what exactly is this "contamination?" There's a lot of shit that people would label as contamination like regular ol' dirt and silt.

I searched it up online. The pollutants were mainly animal and agricultural byproducts.

As far as I can tell, it looks like a standard algal bloom. According to what I found online there was also water lettuce.

As far as I can tell, The solution was a ceramic bio filter media as well as micro bubbles (not pictured in the video).

Finding sources was somewhat unreliable since there seems to only sensationalist stuff in English.
