I noticed this in the mcdonalds parking lot, so I poked around in it with a stick to try to clear the drainage path.
I came to the conclusion that it has no outlet at all, it’s a permanent stagnant pond. It stinks pretty bad.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Why do they need a helicopter? More importantly, do they call it "The Skeeter Beater?"
It's to disrupt the mating cycle. When you fly around in The Skeeter Beater it sets an unobtainable standard for male mosquitos and the females lose interest.
Genuinely don't know if you're kidding or not. Movie idea: aliens do this to humanity.
Plot twist: they already create unobtainable standards with celebrities.
Ryan Gosling is actually a fish alien
Here's a local agency https://mmcd.org/
The drop pellets into ponds, marshes, etc that disrupts the mating cycle. They may also release sterile males.
