Abstract
"Aquatic plants are important components of lakes, ponds and streams. Aquatic plants aid in the prevention of erosion along shorelines and are a source of food and shelter for aquatic invertebrates, fish, fowl and game. Algae are the original source of food for nearly all fish and marine animals. Excessive growth of aquatic weeds not only interferes with fishing and boating but also causes problems with the intended use of ponds, streams, irrigation systems and drainage systems. Excessive weed growth: (1) creates health hazards; (2) interferes with navigation, fishing and other recreational activities; (3) impedes water movement and increases water losses; (4) destroys wildlife habitats; (5) speeds up the rate of silting; (6) causes undesirable odors; and (7) lowers real estate."--First page.
