Wetlands Treatment Modeling David Crohn, Andrew Chang, Nels Ruud Department of Soil and Environmental Sciences University of California, Riverside
The Site • Located at Hemet/San Jacinto Water Treatment Facility • Managed by Eastern Municipal Water District of Riverside County • Financed by EMWD and the Bureau of Reclamation
The Site • Multipurpose • education • wildlife habitat • water finishing • Completely constructed • Three phase design
The Project • Monitor the performance of the EMWD • Identify and monitor key parameters • Model key processes • Develop comprehensive computer program • Sensitivity analysis • Eliminate less important processes • Develop simpler, more robust, planning tool for designing constructed wetlands in arid climates
Parameters • Temperature • Solar radiation • Wind speed • Inflow and outflow • Depth • Nitrogen (organic, ammonium, nitrate) • Phosphate
