Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Storm runoff in urban areas is not treated and often contains many pollutants including oil, car fuel, sediments and fecal matter from birds and pets. As Best Management Practice (BMP), ponds are increasingly becoming more widespread. Storm runoff is often retained or detained in these ponds and then slowly released through system of drainage canals into streams. These ponds and drains often allow pollutant removal through settling and biological uptake. This study assesses whether inland saltgrass (Fig. 1) grown in a sandy soil and sandy soil mixed with zeolite could reduce fecal coliform bacteria concentration from flood runoff or water from drainage canals. The long-term goal is to use the information from the proposed work to engineer systems such as ponds that would reduce pathogens in urban drains before the water from these drains are conveyed to the River or infiltrate groundwater.
