When a pond ages and accumulates years of sediment buildup on the pond bottom, the pond will begin to support weed and algae growth like this(See image right) from the bottom of the pond to the surface?  Most people would believe their best, or only option is to  hit it with chemicals 4-10 times per summer so that the weeds and algae drop to the bottom and create more sediment?  More sediment means more nutrients.  More nutrient contributes to stronger, healthier weed and algae crops every successive growth cycle.  Are you going to invest all of the money budgeted for your pond each year on cosmetic improvement only?  Cosmetic improvement that compounds your original and often only problem (Naturally Accumulating Organic Sediment). 

Every time that a pond is treated chemically to kill plants or algae, the dead material drops to the bottom of the pond.  This dead material will then decompose and add to previous layers of nutrient rich organic sediment.   As that layer gets thicker, and then receives sunlight, growth begins again. 

The plants will then thrive as they reach for sunlight. As they get closer to the surface, the plant then receives more sunlight than it did on the bottom.  This will help the plant become even more robust.  These plants also create a platform closer to the surface that algae can then thrive on, and when it gets enough sunlight, the photosynthesis in the algae creates gasses that then lift the algae to the surface where it will float and reproduce.  The algae can then thrive on the structure of the plants and branches at or near the surface.  As layer upon layer of sediment builds over the years, this  buildup often covers and hinders or completely plugs naturally aerated spring flow into the pond.  Natural springs provide fresh oxygenated water to your pond, and when hindered or plugged, often the ponds high water level is affected.
