Robyn...those ponds are fed by surface water only , and are now used by beef cattle for water, cooling dip etc.
They are brownish colored, soup. I really want to fence them off ...water cattle from troughs etc. I'd love to see bluish green color, a little clarity in water. Any ideas?

Aquaculture. Aquatic plants will clear the water in a relatively short time; water lilly, water hyacinth will do it quick, also azolla, anacharis (very common and may be hardy in zone 6, the others aren't). Goldfish or carp to eat the algae. Establish a shallow area and plant cattails. You can harvest the pond weed for mulch or compost.
