ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for selectively aerating a pond. The inventive apparatus preferably includes a first conduit for receiving a fluid from an upper portion of a pond without substantially disturbing a fluid material contained in a lower portion of the pond; a gas delivery conduit for delivering a gas into the apparatus; and a discharge conduit, at least partially positioned in the receiving conduit, for discharging the fluid and the gas into the upper portion of the pond without substantially disturbing the fluid material contained in the lower portion of the pond. An inventive method includes the steps of (a) positioning the inventive apparatus in the pond such that: a fluid opening provided in the receiving conduit is positioned in the upper portion of the pond; a discharge opening provided in the discharge conduit is positioned in the upper portion of the pond; and the discharge opening of the discharge conduit is positioned above the fluid opening of the receiving conduit and (b) delivering gas to the apparatus to thereby aerate the upper portion of the pond.
