lol @ hiring fancy MIT students for that one...
I may be a loser who went to a PUBLIC university, but I can tell ya that sewerage, combined with runoff from lawns that have been fertilized, makes for a MEAN alage bloom, and as it cycles between bloom and dieoff, depending upon rainfall and temperature (=oxygenation in the water), you get the dead algae rotting and man will it ever stink.
