What else can I help you with?
Is algae good for ponds and why?
Yes, algae can be beneficial for ponds because it helps to oxygenate the water and provide food and shelter for aquatic organisms. However, excessive algae growth can lead to imbalances in the ecosystem and cause water quality issues. Proper management and monitoring of algae levels are important for maintaining a healthy pond environment.
Will algae grow faster if you add fertilizer to a pond?
yes, increased nitrates in the water (from the fertiliser), will increase the growth rate of the algae in the pond. this normally depletes the oxygen supply that is naturally in the water, and may lead to the death of small fish and other animals. this occurs from time to time when commercial fertilizers from farming ends up in streams, lakes and ponds - the resultant "algal bloom" can cause a serious imbalance in the ecosystem of the contaminated water body.
When a persons teeth are being rayed other body parts of this person are covered with a lead blanket to prevent?
The reproductive body parts are covered in order to prevent the person from being rendered sterile.
When a person's teeth are being x-rayed other body parts of this person are covered with a protective lead blanket to prevent?

What can rivers lead up to?
Rivers can but aren't limited to lead up to... oceans, lakes, ponds, or other rivers.

How is urbanization effecting the Moonee Ponds Creek?
Urbanization such as the building of roadways over Moonee Ponds Creek has changed some of its natural landscape which has lead to flooding in the area and water pollution.
How would a drought affect green algae?
A drought can affect green algae by reducing water availability, which can lead to dehydration and stress in the algae. This can impair their growth, reproduction, and overall fitness. Additionally, a prolonged drought can lead to habitat loss for green algae as water sources dry up.
What happens when you swim in black algae?
Swimming in water contaminated with black algae can cause skin irritation, rashes, and allergic reactions. Inhaling or ingesting water with black algae can also lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and respiratory issues. It is important to avoid swimming in water with black algae and seek medical help if exposed.
Can UV light kill fish?
Yes, prolonged exposure to UV light can harm and potentially kill fish by damaging their skin and eyes, disrupting their immune system, and affecting their overall health. UV light can also lead to the growth of harmful algae in fish tanks or ponds, which can further harm the fish.
How does industrial and domestic waste effect ponds?
Industrial and domestic waste are sources of nutrients (e.g. phosphorus and nitrogen) and man-made chemicals (e.g. estrogen) that can enter ponds via runoff after rainfall, pipes or atmospheric deposition, etc. Ponds that are generally shallow can concentrate these chemicals that can lead to changes in their chemical and physical properties. Plants and animals that live in ponds will be affected as well as the water quality of ponds.
