Recurring algae blooms, excessive aquatic weed growth, and loss lake or pond depth all have water quality issues as a contributing factor. As water enters your lake or pond many nutrients are transported to your waterbody as well. These nutrients can include nitrogen, phosphorous and other organic material. Excessive amounts of nutrients, particularly phosphorous and nitrogen will lead to algae and plant growth. Analysis of lake and pond water quality helps provide the correct action plan for improving water quality and mitigation of nutrients.
