Re: 'Disinfecting' the water in New Orleans

I think the Chlorine evaporates eventually. For instance, if you want to use tap water for Venus Flytraps, you put it in a bucket and let it sit for a day or two, until the chlorine evaporates. It wouldn't have to be swimming pool strength/concentration, necessarily. Just enough to kill a lot of the nasty stuff in there now. Even 1 or 2 drops per gallon would probably do something. I'm not thinking that people could drink it easily so much as that it wouldn't be deadly toxic.
