FWIW, hydrogen peroxide is a fairly safe way to kill algae. I have a bird pond that hosts tadpoles this time of the year, and if the algae gets really bad, I add hydrogen peroxide to it (one cup for about 10 gallons). It's totally safe for the tadpoles and birds. Of course, that dude is going to need a whole lot more, and since it degrades quickly in sunlight, it's best to apply it at night.
do the math for how much would be needed for the reflecting pool...hint, think tanker trucks, not a few plastic gallon bottles.

Shocking our 30k gallon pool requires about 9 gallons of liquid chlorine. Translating that to the 6,750,000 gallon reflecting pool, they’d need over 2,000 gallons. These guys appear to have 50 gallons or so. And our pool has never been even close to this bad in terms of algae growth.
The surface area of the reflecting pool is so high that the chemicals would break down faster than in a backyard pool too.
