Fighting the War on Aquatic Weeds is fought basically with four conventional methods.
- Dewatering: remove all the water, and kill the weeds (and everything else)
- Chemicals: Apply chemicals and kill the weeds (what is the long-term effect)
Introducing a biological agent into the environment: A non indigence species to the area posses some interesting issues.
- Aquatic Weed Harvesting: cut the weeds and remove them from the environment.
These three methods are discussed by both the academic world and the secular world and like all things discussed..everybody has an opinion.
Keep in mind that there are NO simple solutions to this problem, only intelligent options to manage and control it.
It is our position that all three options are expensive...but aquatic weed harvesting is the most manageable and least invasive to the overall eco system and environment of the area it is applied to!
