The dye gives the pond a different color and shades the water to keep
algae down. NAtural ponds in Alabama are a grey green color due to the
majority of the soils (in my area at least) are comprised of a bue
clay or prairie clay which is a light gray color, so the ponds always
have a less than natural look to them as compared to ponds you would
see up north were the soils are much different and algae blloms are
not as prolific.
