For ponds whose purpose is a water source for grazing animals such as cattle or goats, bank erosion can quickly lead to weed problems. Free access to the pond will trample the banks of the pond creating shallow areas where weeds will flourish. It can also lead to muddy water and affect fish populations. By investing in a fence and freeze-proof tanks for water dispersal, the result will be a healthier pond.

When battling a troublesome aquatic weed, identification is key to proper treatment. Different types of aquatic plants react to herbicides in varying degrees, so the proper herbicide will produce the best results.
