Water plague in Lake Werders: Successful distance at bathing place completed!

Werdersee, Bremen, Deutschland - In Bremen, a strong growth of the water plague in Lake Werdersee is currently being observed. This invasive plant, which is officially known as Elodea, spreads rapidly in this water. In order not to disturb the bathers at the popular bathing area, measures to remove the water spest were taken a week ago, such as Buten and internal

The distance itself was successful, and now the plants dry ashore. This measure is not only unproblematic in terms of environmental technology, but also ensures that Kleinketier can hike back to Lake Werdersee. However, these worries about the water plague are more related to the well -being of the bathers, since the plant is unproblematic for humans and water ecology. An der offiziellen Badestelle, besonders in der Nähe der DLRG-Station, war die Entfernung besonders notwendig, um unangenehme Berührungen mit der Wasserpest zu vermeiden, vor allem für ungeübte Schwimmer, wie Transparency Bremen point out.

The benefits of aquatic plants

aquatic plants like the water plague are not only annoying, they also play an important role in the ecosystem. They filter nutrients from the water and contribute to sedimentation. This increases biodiversity in waters because they offer habitat and food for many organisms. A current study shows that more zooplankton, vertebrous, fish and birds tend to be in waters with high aquatic plants. Nevertheless, there are also critical voices that could indicate the dangers of an overpopulation of non-domestic species, which could displace native vegetation, such an article from .

The exact cost structure has not yet been published during the entire removal of the water plague, which took a week. However, what often falls under the table is the question of the ecological effects of these interventions. The previous results show mixed results, since the removal of aquatic plants can also increase the nutrient pollution and in some cases even led to a reduced biodiversity.

an eye on future development

The environmental department has assured that the water spest itself has no negative impact on water quality, which is calming. Despite the distance of several weeks, the question remains what the further growth of the water plague in Werdersee looks like. Even if there is no direct risk to swimmers, it remains to be seen how sustainable these measures are and whether they offer long -term advantages for water ecology.

In recent times, however, it has been found that the water level can increase due to dense aquatic plant stocks and influence the flow speed, which could lead to flood risks. This shows how complex the interaction between aquatic plants, water level and ecology is.

In any case,

Bremen diving friends and swimmers are allowed to breathe a sigh of relief - however, the water plague has been removed from the immediate bathing area, but further measures for water management are being planned and are observed.
