WATER WEED CONTROL IS IMPORTANT
Often invasive aquatic weeds are introduced without the controls that keep them in check in their home waters, which also creates an imbalance. When this happens invasive water weeds can:
- destroy fish and wildlife habitat
- suppress native plants and wildlife
- cause navigational blockages
- impact on flood control
- cause issues with recreational wild swimming
- clog drinking, irrigation and hydroelectric power water pipes.
Regular treatment or removal of aquatic weeds or pond weeds is the most effective method available to reduce plant growth without damaging the environment. Additionally, but not to be ignored is the impact on the economy as the cost of control runs into hundreds of thousands per year. These invasive aquatic plants need to be controlled!
