The stormwater catch basin pond is set for treatment by Aquatic Doctors. Did you realize that Cadgewith Farms pond has been under treatment since its creation? Aquatic Doctors has been managing the pond since 2015. Nuisance aquatic vegetation and algae can significantly affect the aesthetics and ecological harmony of our pond. Invasive algae and aquatic weeds not only mar the view but can also pose risks to aquatic life and humans, depending on the species. They can lead to various water quality issues and disrupt aquatic ecosystems, masking the true beauty of a pond. Properly identifying the specific algae and aquatic weeds in our pond is crucial for achieving the desired outcomes.
