Backwashing the pool filter this morning, and having recently watched _Dune_, can't help but wonder what the first Fremen off-world must have thought when they encountered people throwing away gallons of water _just_ to clean some crud off their sand...

(Other than, y'know, crysknife to the face.)

One also wonders how they dealt with the problem of their hidden sietch water-hoards getting all algified and gross without losing or unusablizing some water in the process.

@cerebrate there are edible algae you know, and there wouldn’t be any that they didn’t introduce on Arrakis

The Corrino Imperium does not strike me as a place that is incredibly meticulous about its biocontrol.
