Paper mills are very polluting enterprises - the water you're seeing is a thin sheet with a mostly laminar flow. It is opaque. This is not normal. The level of waste solutes in the raw ejecta is absurdly high, and is comprised of decomposed organic material & high oxygen content which leads to algal blooms, bleaches, heavy metals, chelating agents, etc.

The photo doesn’t tell whether that was something that happened regularly, and stuff like that happens today, too. https://www.fleetmon.com/maritime-news/?category=incidents https://www.fleetmon.com/maritime-news/?category=incidents taught me that the Maersk Honam (built in 2017; can hold over 15,000 TEU) caught fire on March 6 and was evacuated. Worse, that doesn’t seem to be that exceptionally. http://www.seatrade-maritime.com/news/europe/maersk-honam-joins-a-growing-list-of-horrific-containership-fires.html http://www.seatrade-maritime.com/news/europe/maersk-honam-jo... lists about one every year.
