Dear Valery,
As the sheer number of responses shows, your's is a problem that many water managers have to deal with. We are currently looking into a similar issue in a lake in Indonesia (Java). There, an important cause seems to be overly high nutrient inputs from poorly hydrologically managed agricultural field. We investigate a joint approach of putting the Water Hyacinth biomass to use, and identifying and managing the main nutrient flows into the lake.
The contributions from others provide a range of uses for the biomass. To identify nutrient flows, you will have to asses water flows in the landscape and the nutrients they contain.
I wish you success!
Kind regards,
