Northwestern University scientists created a sponge that can soak up and reuse phosphate
The sponge, known as Phosphate Elimination and Recovery Lightweight (PEARL) is made up of a porous, flexible material
It can capture up to 99 percent of phosphate ions in polluted water
Phosphorus leaking into waterways causes algae blooms, which cause plants and fish to be starved of oxygen

This could work, but a few issues, planning, reforestation, should begin at the beginning of the project, careful consideration given to toxic tailings created, top soil storage are reuse, water drainage plans to guarantee water supply for the eventual lake.
