South Carolina Lowcountry Pond or Lake Dye

Question: Why would dye be used in a pond or lake in the South Carolina Lowcountry?

Answer: “Well, dye is most commonly used to slow down weed and algae growth by limiting the amounts of sunlight that can reach the bottom of the pond or lake. It won’t prevent weeds or algae from growing, but it definitely aids in limiting the potential for growth.”
