I wouldnt do much in your neck of the woods at the moment. Is the 20 acre lake old, shallow, and nutrient loaded? If it isnt than I wouldnt worry too much. The habitat has to be just right to grow lots of watermeal to nuisance levels in a larger bod

Another thing is, it appears you are dealing with a surface spring, (shallow spring that is dependent on water table levels) so it could actually work in reverse in that it could suck water out of the pond. This happens when the water pressure of the

So a contact herbicide is effective in eradicating watermeal? Obviously Whitecap or Sonar AS would be cost prohibitive and probably overkill for a 20 acre lake with a few small patches of watermeal. So you say bring out the arsenal NOW instead of wai

Should I aerate?

Sure it could, depending on the type of fountain it is. Is it a can motor with a prop? Vertical or horizontal motor configuration? Does it have an intake tube located right above the pond bottom? How much flow / pumpage are you looking at? What kind

You may want to get the water checked. If it is an O2 problem it happens fast not over several years.

I think the smaller ones that aren't as colorful look dead(or deader) which, if I am right, account for the different color. Yeah Eric, I also wondered a little about the largest one. It's more of a shape issue than color.
