DescriptionLakes and ponds can either be natural, or man-made, and management depends on the desired use of the waterbody. Human actions, as well as natural phenomena, contribute to unwanted pond and lake conditions. Excessive plant growth, algal blooms, oxygen depletion, sediment build-up, bank erosion, and pests are the most common issues faced in the management of a lake or pond. A sound pond or lake management plan addresses not only management of the symptoms, but also remediation of the causes of common pond and lake issues. This fact sheet is the third in a series that addresses common lake and pond problems. This fact sheet addresses controlling geese and other pests.
