Abstract

The monitoring results for water quantity and quality collected at the Tres Rios Demonstration Wetland facilities, presented at the wetland engineering and river restoration conference, were discussed. The results indicate that sulfur driven autotrophic denitrification occured in wetlands. The results were used to determine molar ratios relating sulfate concentration increase and nitrate concentration reduction in sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification. It was observed that carbon compounds in wastewater effluents were associated with particulates which settled, and then underwent decomposition in the bottom sediments of the wetlands before microbial utilization.
