Problem with algae

Is there any method to remove the dense growth of green algae in the rainwater harvesting pond behind my house?

Nagarathna Gowda

Karnataka

Absence of fish in the pond increases algae growth. You may release fresh water fishes such as rogu, catla and karp varieties and also grow flowers such as water lily and lotus.

In a few months’ time you can harvest both the fishes and the flowers and make a good profit. The algae may also be manually scooped out and dried and used as manure for the land.
