Algae Treatment Information
Algae Control
Customer Comments
Three irrigation lakes totaling approximately
30 acres receive nutrient rich water pumped from the San Joaquin River in
Central California. The lakes are used to irrigate 1,000 acres of pistachio
trees.
Excess algae would have clogged the irrigation pumps and the micro
irrigation system. Algae blooms began to appear in the lakes which inhibited
recreational activities such as boating and fishing.
BioWorld Algae Treatment
was added to the lakes on a weekly basis. The algae competing microbes were more
efficient than the algae at consuming the nutrients in the lakes. As a result,
the algae starved and was decomposed naturally leaving clear water and a more
balanced ecosystem.
