Abstract

Evaluates construction and operation of a wetland pilot facility to determine the impact of the wetland system on overall reservoir water quality. Provides cost data for the construction and maintenance of the wetland facility. Also includes a cost-benefit ratio to determine the impacts of the constructed wetland treatment on subsequent treatment processes for reservoir management. Research partner: USEPA. Published in 1996.
