| Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope Water quality impairment by nutrient enrichment from agricultural activities has been a concern worldwide. Phytoremediation
technology using aquatic plants in constructed wetlands and stormwater detention ponds is increasingly applied to remediate
eutrophic waters. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness and potential of water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) in removing nutrients including nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from stormwater in the constructed water detention systems
before it is discharged into the St. Lucie Estuary, an important surface water system in Florida, using phytoremediation technologies. |
