The water is circulating between the reflecting pool and the Tidal Basin. It was part of the 2009 upgrade to use that instead of using tap water.
They don’t typically circulate anything back to the tidal basin, the reflecting pool’s circulation system from the 2009 upgrades is a closed loop that filters the water and sends it back to the pool.
They have an option to top off the pool from the tidal basin to combat leaks/evaporative loss, but they don’t typically use that option during this time of the year (because the tidal basin is full of algae), and as far as I know they never use that method to completely refill it.
When it’s filled from empty, it’s treated water from DC Water.
I thought they were supposed to drain the swamp, turns out they were just making more swamps all along
Swamps and wetlands are very ecologically productive places.
They’ve drained the swamp an replaced it with a Superfund site.
Happy cake day!

They would have to install something to clean the water when it gets piped to the pool, but then also remove said agent when they send it back.
Maybe the maintainers hired by the trump team don’t know that?

The reflecting pool was literally built on a swamp
I guess they always meant to
train the swampand heck are they doing it
