Once on the board these weeds were crushed into pulp and let out again into the lake again. There were objections from the local fishermen and 'boat-house'owners, who depend on lake water for all needs, as the water turns murkier and could not be used for any purpose for about a week. It had an effect on fish breeding also because of decreased B.O.D in the sluggish water. The population of fish in the lake also took a beating. The Govt. later realized that this cleaning operation is only a temporary measure and the aquatic weed was found to germinate again within two weeks from thousands of seeds left remained in the crushed plant pulp.<br /><br />Mechanical removal and using the weeds as organic manure is the best option.
