Fertilizer runoff and soil erosion prevention, manual or mechanical removal, pond bottom liners, shade-friendly plantings, steep slopes, water dyes and winter draw-downs are ways to stop weeds from growing in ponds. Dredge-like removals by equipment (forks, hoes, rakes, sickles) or hand, liners weighted down by two to three inches (5.08 to 7.62 centimeters) of mineral (clay, gravel, sand), shaded shorelines, 3:1 slopes, water dyes (non-toxic analine, aqua-shade, nigrosine) and winter draw-downs (to dry, freeze, uproot by frost-heaved sediments and strong winds) keep weeds from growing downward, outward and upward in ponds. Chemical controls may be applied against algae (chelated copper, diquat), emergents (glyphosate) and submersed plants (diquat, fluridone, 2,4-D) even though chelated copper is super-toxic and fluridone is the least obnoxious.

Why do weeds have to be in ponds?
The need for wet roots is the reason for why weeds have to be in ponds. The roots of many plants contrastingly resist long-term or year-round flooding or water-logging. The herbaceous and woody plants -- such as weeds and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) -- that do tolerate such conditions tend to be good candidates for environments not only of maximum but also of minimal wetness.
