A large Midwestern reservoir faced a significant challenge: a rapid growth of filamentous algae, specifically Rhizoclonium. This invasive algae threatened the water body’s aesthetic appeal, recreational value, and even its drinking water quality.
Rhizoclonium is a type of green filamentous algae that can quickly proliferate in nutrient-rich waters. It forms dense mats that can block sunlight, reduce oxygen levels, and harm aquatic life.
To address the problem, Aquatic Control implemented a comprehensive treatment plan that included:
The treatment was highly successful in reducing the amount of filamentous algae in the reservoir. This led to improved water clarity, increased oxygen levels, and a healthier aquatic ecosystem. The residents were able to enjoy the lake for fishing, boating, and other recreational activities.
By addressing algae problems early, water bodies can be maintained in a healthy and aesthetically pleasing state. Regular monitoring and timely treatment can prevent future outbreaks and protect the long-term health of the ecosystem.
