: I guess perhaps it depends a bit on just how big these particular ponds are too?

: It is better than cleaning or scrubbing and dredging is usually associated with water.

: you empty and scrape out the pond. In French, they use "dragage" for rivers and harbors, "(ré)curage" for pools, ponds, and pipes, at least in my experience.

You might also consider 'pond clearance', which although not strictly speaking exactly the same thing, might well be more suitable for your needs.

Note that 'to scour' is only one of the meanings of the verb 'récurer', another that is often more applicable is 'to scrape'. This is certainly the term used when talking about cleaning silt out of a pond — it's exactly what the « Eaux et Forêts » said to me about my former mill-pond.

DREDGING BREDGAR POND
Algae bloom and an infestation of duck weed suggested something needed to be done so we caught the fish (for safe-keeping) and emptied the pond - sludge from the bottom was spread on a nearby field, a new island was built for the ducks and, so far, it all looks much healthier.

But the DEP is there, on the exact day local officials said it would be, ready to DREDGE POMPHREY’S POND.
Local officials, after years of delays, had planned for work to start “on or about September 15.”
Today, September 15, work is expected to get started at the pond to lower the water level and excavate the pond’s soil to restore it to a more pleasant state. Before, neighbors said it had developed a feculence that made it undesirable for people who’d normally spend time at the pond.
Within six to eight weeks, that will be a thing of the past, Mayor John Ekdahl said.
Workers plan to DREDGE THE POND, dry its spoils, transport them somewhere in western Monmouth
