Presentation transcript:

Wetlands as a means to improve water quality

Mechanisms of improving water quality n trap sediment n sequester pollutants n remove phosphorous n remove/modify excess nitrogenous waste –how?

Sources of pollution that can affect water quality n Agriculture - fertilizers n Aquaculture - animal waste/feed n Livestock - animal waste/feed n Human waste -water treatment plants n Industry

Current Research n Natural Systems F modelling (Park et al. 2003) n Constructed systems

Constructed Wetland experiments n Kinds of plants u emergent (watercress), submergent (waterfern), free-floating (pondweed) ( Redding et al. 1997) n Direction of flow (Farahbakhshazad and Morrison et al. 1997) n Concentration of waste n Economics (Mississippi State University)

Future Research n Municipal waste treatment? n Different emergent plants? n Improve economic viability?
