The color of the water looks beautiful to me 😍 I love the shade of green it looks like emerald But why is the color like that? Greetings from an MCGI 👋🩵💛
Fantastic question! While I am. It expert in this, I understand that the River is greenish due to the following: 1. The Chicago River was reversed by the MWRD in 1900 by digging the river deeper west of the continental divide and letting gravity do the rest. Nearly 42 million cubic tons of soil were dug by hand and horse and some steam equipment. 2. The river being connected to the Mississippi has had unforeseen consequences 3. The green comes from the increased algae in the water and the refraction of the light.
