If you live near farm land, then you can't drive over a couple miles without driving by a farm pond of some sort. Whether it is used for drinking water for a herd of cattle, fishing enjoyment, or just for viewing next to a small cabin, Aquatic plants may or may not serve as a problem.

When I think back, a lot of my childhood days were occupied with either a lake, pond, or some sort of swimming pool. Most of the time a day of fishing ended with us taking a dip. If your pond has been taken over with algae, moss, weeds, or any kind of aquatic plant life, it makes it impossible to fish, let alone swim. There's nothing worse than snagging your lure on a pile of algae, most of the time breaking your line.

Aquatic plants can interfere with many lakes and ponds uses. A wide range of Aquatic plants can be found growing in, on, or around a body of water. Some plants will be found rooted in swiftly flowing streams while others can only survive in placid, stagnant ponds.

Here's a few facts about aquatic plants...

Like terrestrial plants, aquatic vegetation requires a carbon source, sunlight, and nutrients.

The depth of sunlight penetration will limit the depth to which aquatic plants will grow.

The amount of nutrients available will limit the quantity of vegetation which will grow.

An aquatic plant problem is defined as "undesirable plants that grow so profusely as to crowd out more desirable growth or distract in some way from the usefulness, value, and/or appearance of an area. Therefore, overabundant vegetation that adversely effects aquatic life; impedes industrial, agricultural or domestic water use; interferes with recreational activities and/or destroys economic values, all fall under this definition.

A look at various water-use sites and there specific problems gives some indication of both economic and environmental impact associated with aquatic plant growth. The degree of control desired will be greatly influenced by these water uses.

As nutrient concentrations increase, aquatic vegetation growth can become a serious problem at lakes and ponds. Measures can be taken to ensure that your pond is not overtaken by cattail, weeds, algae, and other aquatic plants.
