Duckweed creates an anaerobic environment. When it comes to wastewater lagoons, the lack of dissolved oxygen is bad. (Read our previous article, Troubleshooting Low Lagoon Dissolved Oxygen, for an in-depth look.) Duckweed is a DO killer, blocking the oxygen-transferring interface between the surface of the lagoon and the atmosphere.
The mixing of surface waters by wind and waves increases the rate at which oxygen from the air can be dissolved or absorbed into the water. DO levels are influenced by temperature and salinity. The solubility of oxygen, or its ability to dissolve in water, decreases as the waters temperature and salinity increase.
