Unfortunately it's full of algae making it a sickening shade of green instead:

This is not normal. Yesterday, Phoenix surpassed 100 degrees – the earliest triple-digit temperature ever recorded for the city. We must cut fossil fuels and the climate pollution it causes to protect people from this deadly, extreme heat. #PeopleOverPolluters
