| 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." The overall goals are to "develop the use of golf course constructed wetlands to improve residential runoff," and "assess the ability of constructed wetlands to protect adjacent and highly sensitive natural wetland environment," and "evaluate the regeneration of water supplies for golf course use." Results to date include that in the first sampling, "14 parameters or contaminants indicated a decrease in water quality from the urban runoff to the water exiting the golf course. Four parameters or contaminant levels indicated an improvement in water quality between the urban input and the water exiting the course. However, key parameters such as ammonia and nitrate-nitrite nitrogen and pesticide levels were either decreased as the water circulated through the golf course wetlands or were not detectable at either sampling site." In the second sampling, "15 parameters or contaminant levels indicated an improvement in water quality from the urban runoff to the water exiting the golf course. Only 4 parameters or contaminant levels indicated a decrease in water quality between the urban input and the water exiting the course. This suggests that the golf course's created wetland system is functioning to improve the water quality." In the third sampling, "12 parameters or contaminants indicated an improvement in water quality from the urban runoff to the water exiting the golf course. Seven parameters or contaminant levels indicated a decrease in water quality between the urban input and the water exiting the course...No unusually high levels of any of a wide array of potential pollutants, included pesticides and metals were detected in the golf course sampling sites...Surprisingly, even from the urban runoff there is no measurable oil and grease", and "heavy metals of concern, such as mercury and lead, are below detection limits in all samples." |
