What should be done after applying a granular herbicide in an aquatic environment?

After applying a granular herbicide in an aquatic environment, it is crucial to check for local water use restrictions. This step is important as local regulations and guidelines may govern how and when water can be used following the application of herbicides to prevent any adverse effects on health and safety. These restrictions may include limitations on recreational activities such as swimming, fishing, or using the water for irrigation or livestock needs.

Monitoring restrictions helps ensure that both the environment and public health remain safeguarded after herbicide application. It allows for compliance with local laws and minimizes any potential negative impacts on water quality or aquatic life. Being aware of these regulations is vital for responsible herbicide use and contributes to the broader goal of sustainable environmental management.
