Pond Weeds
Many kinds of aquatic pond weeds and pond problems may present themselves and affect the intended use of a pond. Duckweed is one of the most common pond weeds. Duckweed floats on the surface of the pond. Submerged pond weeds may grow to the surface and affect the use of the pond. These weeds may include hydrilla, watermilfoil, elodea and many other types of pondweeds. Algae, both filamentous and planktonic, may grow in abundance to create scums or mats.
