1. If possible a water drawdown combined with physical removal of dead vegetation is a good method to start with and that may be all that is needed. 
2. The second option is “grass eating carp”.  Find more information online or through your local game and fish or county extension agency.
3. If water drawdown is not an option chemical treatment is a safe and effective alternative.
4. If infestation is thick, rake out or break up mats of the weeds before applying herbicide.  Rake out again when weeds have died.
