First some background info-In the Spring our clay pond developed a leak through the dam and dropped several feet. My husband and I worked all summer sealing the leak and the water level is coming back up. We have natural springs that feed the pond. In the meantime there has been a moderate drought this summer in the Northeast. Previously the water in the pond was pretty clear but now it’s coming back with an orange color to the water. We’ve been aerating the pond and adding beneficial bacteria but the water looks terrible. Could it be iron in the water? Any thoughts on how to clear?
