| Abstract/Contents: | "This study conducted by Purdue University scientitists [scientists] was initiated to determine the chemical characteristics of water moving through created wetlands associated with a commercial 18-hole golf course and a residential area, and track changes in water quality through the wetland system during storm and non-storm events. The study found: Even though 7,300 kg N was applied to the golf course area that drains into the wetland during the period when storm events were sampled, discharge of N-NO3/NO 2 and N-NH3 from the golf course tile was minimal (1.10 and 0.25 mg/L, respectively). The wetland efficiently removed an estimated 97% of N-NO3/NO2 and 100% of N-NH3. Lower storm water concentrations for 13 of the 17 parameters (except K, Al, Mg, and Si) was found leaving the golf course than entering. Therefore, water exiting the golf course during storm events is not a major source of contamination to the Cuppy-McClure watershed despite urban runoff inputs and significant fertilizer and pesticide inputs used on the golf course. There was only one instance of pesticide detection during nonstorm events from any sampling location. During nonstorm events, only the dinitroaniline herbicide trifluralin was detected at 0.22 µg/L on September 28, 2001 and was found on the golf course at a site downstream of the first wetland. No trifluralin was applied to the golf course anytime during the study, so it is unknown how the chemical arrived on the golf course. Overall, our system demonstrated that created wetlands on golf courses can be used to effectively filter golf course tile drains, as well as runoff from areas adjacent to the course." |
