Algal blooms were seen to be arrested in a temple pond with approximately 5 lakh (0.5 million) litres water capacity in a small town in Karnataka.The tank water was static in the sense, it is not fed by rivulets and also not connected rivers with an outflow and is mainly rain water catchment plus maybe some ground water spring, as it is in Srirangapattana District, close to Talai Cauvery in Mandya District, where the perennial river originates. A small rivulet /stream runs through the entrance to the temple which joins Cauvery and is not connected to the temple pond. Guruvani White was applied in a dangler. The action of arresting algal bloom was seen in one day. The algal bloom restarted when the Guruvani White dangler was removed from the pond. The tank has inactive sludge and algal bloom debri which is removed periodically manually through wicker baskets and used as mulch in the garden. The water was sweet and clear when skimmed off the surface in a white paper cup. We have started providing this solution commercially in India. I can be contacted at rsnm151ATgmail.com for details.
