Description

Plant production in greenhouse and container nurseries typically generates runoff water with excess nutrients. Runoff water either flows offsite or is captured and reused for irrigation. Floating treatment wetland systems (FTWs) can remove nutrients from water streams prior to release or reuse. FTWs consist of a floating mat planted with wetland plants, which encourage the growth of microorganisms to remove nutrients from the water.
