More and more lakes are having issues and problems with so called “Blue Green Algae”.

According to the Wikipedia it is actually a bacteria rather than an Algae:

Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, blue-green bacteria or Cyanophyta, is a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis. The name “cyanobacteria” comes from the color of the bacteria (Greek: κυανός (kyanós) = blue). They are a significant component of the marine nitrogen cycle and an important primary producer in many areas of the ocean, but are also found in habitats other than the marine environment; in particular cyanobacteria are known to occur in both freshwater,^[2] hypersaline inland lakes^[3] and in arid areas where they are a major component of biological soil crusts.

Many lakes are struggling with toxic blooms that can endanger people, wild life, water supplies, resources and property values.

What can be done in an “Earth Day Every Day” way?

Solar power and solar enable the lake!

Solarbee offers a solar powered solution to Blue-Green Algae (cyanobacteria) that provides Long Distance Circulation and aerates the lake.

How is this said this help?

• Prevent & control harmful blue-green algae blooms.
• Reduce taste and odor problems in drinking water.
• Reduce public health issues due to cyanotoxins.
• Improve aesthetics, water clarity and biodiversity.
• Improve dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH levels.
• Prevent accumulation of Mn, Fe, H2S and methyl mercury from bottom waters.
• Reduce invasive aquatic weed growth.
• Improve fish habitats and prevent fish kills.
• Economical for lakes and reservoirs of any size, whole or partial lake treatment.
• Near-laminar flow impacts up to 35 surface acres (14 hectares) per unit.
• Can be deployed to treat the epilimnion and/or hypolimnion.
• Day and night operation using solar energy, requires minimal maintenance and no infrastructure changes.

This solution could possibly work for small towns like Dunes City, Ada, Siltcoos Station and Westlake for fresh water lakes like the Siltcoos near Florence Oregon that only occasionally have algae blooms and for many others that also do not want to dump toxic copper or the like into the lake since those methods do not work anyway and are expensive.
