Duckweed creates an anaerobic environment. When it comes to wastewater lagoons, the lack of dissolved oxygen is bad.

Duckweed is a DO killer, blocking the oxygen-transferring interface between the surface of the lagoon and the atmosphere.
Dissolved oxygen (DO) is a measure of the quantity of free oxygen molecules in water. The concentration of DO is an important indicator of the health of an aquatic ecosystem because oxygen is essential for almost all forms of life. Oxygen is necessary for respiration and for some chemical reactions.
