| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study to "determine how effective created wetlands are in filtering water runoff from commercial, residential, and golf course areas before the water enters a highly valued environmental area. Our overall goals include: Develop the use of golf course constructed wetlands to improve residential runoff; Assess the ability of constructed wetlands to protect adjacent and highly sensitive natural wetland environment; Evaluate the regeneration of water supplies for golf course use." Results to date include "of the 87 water quality parameters measured, only 16 have shown up in the system regularly. No unusually high levels of any of a wide array of potential pollutants, including pesticides and metals were detected at the golf course sampling sites. However, atrazine was detected in water exiting the neighborhood onto the golf course in June 1998 and Apr 2001. The wetlands decreased the concentrations of atrazine by the time the water exited the course on both dates...Concentrations of key contaminants like nitrate-nitrite nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphorus were reduced as the water circulated through the wetland system. However, potassium concentrations often increased as the water circulated through the system. The sampling dates do not coincide with golf course potassium applications so we are unsure of where the potassium is entering the system. Surprisingly, even from the urban runoff there is no measurable oil and grease. It is reassuring to note that heavy metals of concern, such as mercury and lead, are below detection limits in all samples." |
