“…Thirty base-flow samples were collected and analyzed over the study periods. The base-flow travel time through the CSW is approximately 58 hours, depending on the actual flow rate (Wadzuk et al, 2006). In all seasons, there was a statistically significant (p = 0.05) decrease in concentration from inlet to outlet for TP, RP, TN, TSS, Cu, and E. coli, but not for TDS, chloride, or Pb.…”

“…The major difference between the CSW’s performance during storm events and base flow is the residence time. Inflow stormwater can pass through the system in a few hours, whereas the residence time under base‐flow conditions is two to three days (Wadzuk et al. , 2006).…”

Inflow stormwater can pass through the system in a few hours, whereas the residence time under base-flow conditions is two to three days (Wadzuk et al, 2006). The increased residence time allows for additional settling and contact with the CSW vegetation, which increases the potential for pollutant removal.…”

Wadzuk, Bridget M., Matthew Rea, Gregg Woodruff, Kelly Flynn, and Robert G. Traver, 2010. Water‐Quality Performance of a Constructed Stormwater Wetland for All Flow Conditions. Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) 46(2):385‐394. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752‐1688.2009.00408.x Abstract: Results from a multiyear study demonstrate that a constructed stormwater wetland (CSW) improves urban stormwater runoff quality mitigating downstream impacts. Best management practices, such as CSWs, can comprehensively treat the various scales of stormwater runoff issues. Discrete sample analysis was used to investigate the CSW effect for storm events and base‐flow periods on water‐quality parameters [i.e., total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, total nitrogen, phosphorous (total and reactive), chloride, heavy metals (zinc, lead, and copper), and Escherichia coli]. The primary finding was that stormwater sediment load was removed through the CSW for all flow conditions during all seasons. The mechanisms responsible for the removal of suspended solids, including slower flow velocity, longer retention times, and vegetative contact, also reduced the mass of nutrients discharged downstream throughout the year. Exceedance probabilities were used to evaluate the expected pollutant reductions of nutrients and to incorporate the effect of natural flow variation on quality. Other findings included the observation that there was no significant difference in the performance of the CSW over two‐year‐long periods four years apart, indicating that a CSW is effective for an extended period.
