Is weed or debris control a problem in your river, lake, pond or shoreline?
SpillSmart Weed & Debris Booms are designed for the containment and recovery of floating weeds, rubbish and debris. Weed & Debris Booms control the migration of these various contaminants, creating a temporary or long-term solution by forming a barrier in the waterway. The contaminants can then be easily removed from the containment area.
Why is aquatic weed control necessary?
Hot dry conditions can lead to excessive growth of weeds and algae plants, this can have a detrimental effect on a body of water and its inhabitants. Many shallow, nutrient-rich ponds, lakes, and drainage ditches provide ideal conditions for abundant aquatic weed growth.
Some of the problems caused by aquatic weeds are as follows:
- Interfere with recreational activities such as swimming, fishing, and boating.
- Interfere with a balanced fish population.
- Produce quiet water areas conducive for mosquito breeding.
- Hamper water flow in drainage ditches, irrigation canals and culverts, causing flooding.
