Abstract:

Hydrilla is a fast growing aquatic plant creating dense surface mats which impede water flow in canals, reduce water storage in reservoirs, and interfere with recreation and navigation. In 1980, hydrilla was found in Big Lake, located in North Carolina’s Umstead State Park. Research is currently being done to determine how to enact effective hydrilla management.
