dc.description.abstract | Chemical measurements from five storm event flows were taken of the influent and effluent of a constructed wetland in the spring of 2005. The facility is an emergent marsh wetland that receives flow from a 240-acre, mostly residential watershed. The results were compared to quantify any water quality enhancement functions within the wetland. Rhodamine WT dye was used to identify the detention time. A fluorometer was utilized to monitor dye concentration at the wetland effluent structure and samples were taken as a peak in dye concentration was identified. The concentration of dye at the effluent structure was ineffective in quantifying the detention time of individual events because a distinct peak concentration was not identified. A range of detention times was identified and varied due to storm event intensity, duration and intermittent dry periods. The effect of the wetland system on contaminants is mixed. | |
