  Bellevue Park duck pond by Community Volunteers

  Lots of birds are there and because of steady water whatever good or bad stuff inside stays there and affects the chemistry of the water. For instance, birds’ poop and other debris and they decay and smell bad. Also, it increases pH and confits its water. It smelled bad, a lot of geese there, and bird feathers on the water's surface. The odour of decaying vegetation.
