As a thin ribbon of water trickled through, Dr. Robin Silver of the Center for Biological Diversity cheered. "In four to five years, the whole face of this stream will change," he predicted.

It makes them very ill and requires that they be fed a constant stream of antibiotics in their daily rations, to help them survive their feed...
