Water is a media to ground people. And water is life. What happens if our water is ill?
You might already seen all the algae bloom disgusting pictures on social media, news and local newspapers. Algae bloom is a symptom of climate change, and each of us need to face the responsibility as clean water is what we live upon.
Here I did an experiment on treating the koi pond full of algae with our organics digester. I started with an 8 oz initial doze on the first day, and downgraded to 2oz daily for the next 6 days. If you see the comparison in the picture below, it has been a lot greener in the before picture (above). During the 7 days, algae has turned yellow and detached from the button and rocks, disolving and sinking to the bottom of the pond. Water has become clear again and the fish seemed to love it.
I belive the improved FengShui even attracted some red dragonflies. There are not much falling leaves right now in the summer. This autumn, I will use another biological nonchemical treatment to deal with the dead leaves.
This very promising results by Organic Digester made me more ambitious about treating a bigger water body. With some research and a dear friend’s referral, I found the Blue Ribbon Committee for the Rehabilitation of Clear Lake is doing a great job on Clear Lake algae bloom issues.
I have the honor to be connected to Jennifer. Jennifer is the Nonpoint Source Program Manager of Central Valley Water Board. It feels great to receive her very warm and detailed responsive email. Where Jennifer is very kind to share that the California Harmful Algal Blooms Portal has a lot of information and resources regarding Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs). And you can find more information on the page focusing on mitigation.
