    The Hydrilla and algal bloom mentioned in the article have been plaguing freshwater lakes near us for years. They effectively killed off several reservoirs heavily used by families and swimmers. The beaches are often roped off and people are warned to not let children wade in the water.

    One of the reservoirs now has a permanent installation of an oxygenator pumping air to the bottom to let plant and animals not get choked off, but not sure it’s working.
