The increasing number of individuals making use of lakes and living near ponds has caused a boost in the quantity of nutrients and sediments that get washed into watersheds and polluting lakes. Substantial quantities of sediments, fertilizers, nutrients run off soils and waste wash straight into ponds as well as in watersheds leading to decreased quantities of oxygen in the water bodies as well as a rise in the temperature level of the water and that of hazardous organisms, weeds, algae, bad smells and fish killing compounds. For lake restoration purposes, it is necessary that the lake assimilate the load of nutrients that it gets. The only method to accomplish this is to minimize the nutrient levels entering the lake water, unearthing any muck that is stuck at the bottom if that's feasible, and making use of a variety of pond fountains and useful germs that help the water body to self clean itself by reintroducing back oxygen and breaking down the crud at the bottom of the pond.
It's a well documented fact that a healthy as well as regular lake has the capability to cleanse itself up by the usage of living organisms within its very own ecological system. The various organisms in the various levels of the food cycle within the lake take in and eat all the nutrients within the lake. Any pond has one such system and the fact is that it will work very well, until something will trigger it to be inefficient and that something is generally represented by a frustrating number of pollution and nutrients that will negatively influence the food chain. In case of this happening, weeds and algae manage and the lake begins a procedure of a slow-moving death.
Weeds and algae begin to pass away and settle towards the bottom of the lake and the ripple effect of this is that even more nutrients are placed into the lake water. The resultant of this is the reducing of oxygen at the bottom and this then becomes the perfect atmosphere permitting new algae to bloom. This is why lake restoration has to comprise of a quick fix that includes making use of chemicals and herbicides for the quick killing of weeds discovered in the lake. Nonetheless this could likewise lead to the trouble of the enhanced decaying of greenery that gathers at the bottom of the pond which in turn further reduces the pond's oxygen levels.
Moreover, even the supposedly right amount of these chemicals that is used in the quick fix is harmful for fish.
A much better, more effective and eco friendly option for lake restoration is to enhance the liquefied oxygen levels in the lake and to assist in the aerobic decomposition of nutrients with aerators. Not just that, however if this environment full of O2 is kept in this manner, the quantity of collected organic sediments will be minimized.
With that being stated, if aerobic conditions are present at the lake's bottom, weeds and algae won't have the ability to expand any longer and the food cycle will be restored.
