Anaerobic
conditions are synonymous with dead or dying conditions.
Dead water cannot support diverse animal or plant life, and
septic conditions arise creating toxic gases and solutions
from decaying organic matter. As water becomes anaerobic it
more readily dissolves precipitates such as Phosphorous providing
an increase of nutrients in solution. This increase
in nutrients promotes the growth of algae and weeds which
in turn die off and further contribute to sludge build-up.
Anaerobic
conditions facilitate an endless cycle of propagation and
accumulation of organic matter without any beneficial degradation.
The sludge layer continually increases producing black and
smelly waters.
Aeration
creates a more desirable, life supporting aerobic condition.
Water
that is aerobic (contains oxygen) is capable of oxidizing
mineral and dead organic matter in suspension and in bottom
sediments converting it into carbon dioxide and water.
This oxygenation makes all levels of water livable and able
to support a desirable mix of animal and plant life.
Temperatures are balanced, evaporation reduced, and algae
growth controlled, making water cleaner and purer.
