Is An Anchoring System For One Turbidity Curtain Needed?

I have a project where I need to install one turbidity curtain, 100 feet x 5 feet, in a small pond. I was wondering if I need an anchoring system.

In calm water conditions, you don't generally need to anchor if you install the barrier in a straight line. However, if your work area requires that you need "space" for work boats, etc., anchoring can help to keep the boom out of the work area by allowing you to shape the boom.
