Retention ponds are generally clay-lined and constructed to capture water run-off from urban development. Their primary design is to control flooding, yet they function as a natural pond or lake, inheriting the same problems. Sediments enter through culverts where the build-up is more prevalent. Pond cleaning or sediment removal may have to take place more often in these areas. The most effective process to remove the sediments due to the heavy development is by hydraulic dredging.
The Benefits of Removing Muck from Retention Ponds
Removing the organic sediment from ponds is the first and most important step in restoring them to their natural beauty. Once this MUCK is removed, you will notice the difference as your pond starts to revive itself back into the animal kingdom, providing microorganisms for fish and other aquatic wildlife that thrive in healthy ponds.
Enhances Water Quality and Increases Water Volume
Removes Accumulating Bottom Sediments, Muck, Sludge, and Bio-mass
Deepens Ponds to their Original or Natural Bottom
Frees up Clogged Underground Springs
Eliminates Sulfur Dioxides, Nitrogen, Phosphates and Other Contaminants
Reduces Heavy Chemical Usage to Control Weed and Algae Growth
Leaves Aquatic Ecosystems Unharmed and Intact
No Harm to Fish, Frogs, Turtles, etc.
Portable and Light, but Effective System for Easy Access
Costs Less Than Conventional Dredging
No Destruction to Fine, Landscaped Areas
Can Clean Beach and Swimming Areas
