Flash, my understanding is that the nature of watermeal is such that you would need to hit it for a couple of successive years to actually eliminate it and that if you only do it once, it likely will return the next year. Nonetheless, if conditions are right, even if you eliminate it for a period, it could probably be reintroduced pretty easily, so getting it controlled and then working to change the condition of the pond is probably the way to go. Crazy stuff, this pond management fixation we've all got!
