Why Dissolved Oxygen Levels in Ponds are Important
Oxygen is one of the most important factors that influences the biological balance in ponds. The amount of dissolved oxygen (D.O.) available in ponds is quite low, around 8-12mg/l (8-12ppm) compared to the air we breathe in the atmosphere which contains about 20% oxygen (or 200,000ppm). Oxygen is dissolved into ponds in 3 main ways - by the atmosphere, pond plants and aeration supplied by the movement of water. Plants and algae are important suppliers of oxygen during daylight hours...
