| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "maintaining good water quality and identifying, diagnosing and rectifying aquatic problems in a pond or lake can be a challenge." Discusses components of a pond's ecosystem, including light and temperature, nutrients, and oxygen. States that "it is beneficial to try to identify the sources of nutrients coming into the pond. The three most common sources are bottom silt and dead vegetation in the lake, runoff water from surrounding turf areas and the sources of incoming water." Also states that "balance is critical to the aquatic ecoystem, without it a pond or lake will suffer." Concludes that "there are many steps that can prevent an imbalance from occuring and knowing the causes will assist in determining the best solution. Some methods include proper pond construction, including the placement of aquatic plants on the shores of a pond to assist with the filtering of excessive nutrients, chemical applications and the addition of oxygen through aeration systems and devices." |
