| Abstract/Contents: | "A system is described in which polluted river water was applied to lowland heath vegetation on Bunter Sandstone in Nottinghamshire. The object of the work was to study the feasibility of recycling polluted water through the soil and vegetation in order to improve the quality and effect the recharge of the aquifer. While the vegetation yield has been shown to have increased considerably there was no significant change in the balance of the plant species. At 1.58 m depth considerable improvement in water quality was obtained with respect to alkalinity, total hardness, B.O.D., phosphate and anionic detergent; a lesser reduction in potassium and electrical conductivity was observed. The removal of applied ammonium-nitrogen was almost complete but levels of nitrate-nitrogen sometimes rose. This was explained by the large increases in Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter observed on the irrigated plot. The results are discussed in relation to the potential of the system for continued water quality improvement and it is concluded that for a relatively low production semi-natural community, the results compare well with those obtained for faster growing tree and arable crops." |
