ESCI 463 - Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment

This class will begin with brief introductions to conventional wastewater treatment methods (primary, secondary and tertiary) and chemistry as it relates to wetlands and wastewater treatment. Through assigned readings, we will then examine the use of both natural and constructed wetlands for the treatment of municipal wastewater, acid mine drainage, stormwater runoff, and agricultural wastewater. Each student will also be responsible for carrying out a research project using the campus stormwater wetland as a study site.
