Default Controlling lily pads on a large pond

I have a fairly large pond (tear drop shapped - 150 yards x 75 yards)
which seems to be taken over by aquatic plants - mostly lily pads &
hydrilla.


What are some of the better ways of controlling the plants, without
bothering the fish, birds, and other wildlife that use the pond? I have
been told that most people use "Roundup", but that just doesn't sound
very safe to me....
