An on-board system and method for treating lakes and ponds with chemicals is disclosed. The system is contained on a watercraft and can operate continuously without interruption. Water is pumped on board from the pond or lake and strained. Treatment product is introduced into the flow stream by a controlled mixing means to form a prescribed treatment solution, which is then delivered into the pond or lake. The mixing means includes a Y fitting coupled upstream from the pump. In another application, an inductor is provided downstream from the pump for mixing solid product with the flow stream to form a treatment mixture. The solution or mixture, whichever the case may be, is discharged into the pond or lake via a boom and/or a hand line outfitted with a nozzle(s). A conduit system with pump(s), valves, and manifolds connects the intake and the discharge ends of the system. The system is adaptable to apply any phase of treatment product to most any size of water body, including retention ponds, lakes, streams and so forth. In its smallest set up, the system may be contained on a frame as a single unit for converting smaller watercraft to temporary water treatment vehicles.
