Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool drained again as Trump's troubled revamp hits new setbacks

Guardian — Science—Workers drained the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool for a second time as part of the Trump administration's troubled restoration project. The repeated drainage has become a symbol of the revamp's ongoing difficulties and drawn criticism from multiple outlets. The project has faced recurring complications with algae and other technical issues since renovation began. Scientists noted the recurring algae problem is a predictable consequence of disrupting the pool's ecosystem through repeated draining.
