Sediment Removal

Lakes and ponds are catch basins for many sources of nutrient pollution. Excess nitrogen and phosphorus from animal or fish waste, stormwater runoff, grass clippings or leaves and fertilisers are just a few examples of the nutrient pollution that eventually settles at the base of lakes and ponds. Lakes and ponds with bases that are overloaded with these nutrients can experience a depletion of oxygen, fish kills, excessive weed growth or harmful algae blooms that negatively impact water quality.
