Re: 'Disinfecting' the water in New Orleans

Probably not. It'd be like drinking pool water; you'd kill the bacteria, but you wouldn't really be able to safely drink it. You can't dump it across the city to try to clean the city because of the impacts it'd have on the environment after it ran off, was pumped into the lake, or something similar.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
