If an operator wishes to spray the weeds on a reservoir, there are several factors which need to be considered. There are two herbicides, Diquat and Endothal, which are acceptable to the US Environmental Protection Agency for use in weed control. These chemicals are not harmful if they are used properly in the recommended dosages and if recommended timetables for application and water use are followed.
