Research was carried out on a small pond located on private property in Fairfield Township, Columbiana County, Ohio. The pond receives runoff from two small streams that drain a small cattle farm and surrounding crop land. The excess of nutrients in the pond is causing heavy growth of duckweed and algae. A constructed wetland was built to remove nutrients from the pond inflow to improve as a means of improving the water quality and making the pond more aesthetically appealing. Pre-wetland construction and post construction water quality sampling and analyses were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the wetland in improving water quality. Water Quality parameters included: biochemical oxygen demand, total solids, total suspended solids, Escherichia coli (E. coli), coliform, dissolved oxygen and temperature. Local wetland plant species were transplanted from two established wetland sites to populate the new constructed wetland. A plant count was performed to determine the percent growth and proliferation of the wetland plants. Statistical analysis of the pre and post wetland construction water testing results showed a significant decrease in total suspended solids in 2011 from 2010. The boxplot tests showed decreases of the average number in total suspended solids, total solids, biochemical oxygen demand, E. coli, and coliform bacteria. An increase in dissolved oxygen and temperature was also shown in the SPSS boxplot tests. The univariate test between temperature and dissolved oxygen showed a slight significance between the two parameters. The total percent growth rate for both of the wetland cells was found to be 2900%, with cattails being the dominate species.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructed wetlands are used around the world for treating domestic, agricultural, and industrial wastewater, stormwater runoff, and acid mine drainage. Plants may affect efficacy of wastewater treatment through their influence on microbial activity by creating attachment sites and releasing carbon exudates and oxygen. My research investigated seasonal plant effects on wastewater treatment by monitoring water chemistry in model subsurface wetlands planted with monocultures of 19 plant species and unplanted controls. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, an indicator of water quality, declined during colder temperatures in the unplanted control, likely caused by a decrease in microbial activity. In contrast, wetlands with most plant species had constant COD removal across seasons. Redox potential and sulfate concentrations were measured as indirect measurements of the oxygenation of the wastewater. Wetlands that had a decline in COD removal during cold temperatures had constant low redox potential and sulfate concentrations throughout the seasons. Wetlands with high COD removal across seasons had elevated redox potentials and sulfate concentrations during the winter, indicating elevated oxygen availability, which may offset the negative temperature effect on microbial processes. I measured root oxygen loss (ROL) in the summer and the winter to determine whether oxygen release was sufficient to influence wastewater treatment and cause seasonal and species-specific effects on water chemistry. COD removal and ROL were positively correlated at 4°C but not at 24°C; however, the amount of root oxygen release only accounted for a portion of the required oxygen to facilitate plant's influence on COD removal. Flooding tolerance was quantified for each species by comparing plants' biomass between flooded and drained conditions. Plants' botanical grouping, Wetland Indicator Status, and flooding tolerance were compared to plants' influences on wastewater treatment to determine whether easily measured plant traits can be used to identify plants that will optimize wastewater treatment. All the sedges and rushes, obligate wetlands species, and 8 of 9 flood-tolerant plants had greater COD removal than the control at 4°C, the coldest temperature incubation. These results can be applied for wetland design by selecting plant species to optimize wastewater treatment, especially in cold climates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a broad and global level description of the current status of wastewater use in agriculture and then brings the readers to various places in the MENA Region and Europe to explain how some countries and regions have addressed the challenges during implementation. On a global scale, over 20 million hectares of agricultural land are irrigated using wastewater. This is one good, and perhaps the most prominent, example of the safe use potential of wastewater. Water scarcity and the cost of energy and fertilisers are among the main factors driving millions of farmers and other entrepreneurs to make use of wastewater. In order to address the technical, institutional, and policy challenges of safe water reuse, developing countries and countries in transition need clear institutional arrangements and more skilled human resources, with a sound understanding of the opportunities and potential risks of wastewater use. Stakeholders in wastewater irrigation who need to implement from scratch or improve current conditions, find it difficult to gather the necessary information on practical implementation aspects. The main objective of this book is to bridge that gap.
