Aquarius Systems Aquatic Weed Whacker Clearing Carter Lake

Carter Lake is an old oxbow lake of the Missouri River and is now an urban lake shared by two different cities (Omaha, Nebraska and Carter Lake, Iowa), in two counties (Douglas and Pottawattamie) and two states (Nebraska and Iowa).

A vital part of the area’s watershed, Carter Lake is a natural catch basin for storm runoff and melting snows. Excess nutrients being washed into the lakes leads to excessive aquatic plant growth.

The Aquarius Systems HM-1020 Aquatic Plant Harvester is the perfect solution for Carter Lake. The 1020 easily collected a full 16,000 lbs of cut vegetation in only 20 minutes of harvesting. This harvester holds so many weeds that it took two trucks to accept all of the harvested vegetation.
