Wetlands for protection of water quality
Nested Wetlands for Diversion, Retention and Treatment of Sub-surface Drain Effluent from Manured Cropland
Collaborators: Drs. Tim Harrigan and Joan Rose
We are testing green-house scale wetlands for treatment of tile drain effluent from manured cropland. The project aims to develop design and management guidelines for on-farm treatment wetlands to improve the environmental sustainability of livestock farms in the Great Lakes Region.
Fate of emerging pollutants in vegetated systems
Role of Plants in Migration of Antimicrobials from Land-Applied Biosolids
Collaborators: Dr. Alison Cupples
We are examining the effects of multiple plant varieties on migration of antimicrobials from land-applied biosolids. In this preliminary study, overall effects of vegetation and potential for hyperaccumulation will be assessed.
