Evaluation Of Nitrogen And Phosphorus Removal In Alternative Management Practices For Dairy Farm Production Area Runoff: Bioretention Cells And A Woodchip Bioreactor Treatment System, Jillian Sarazen
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Non-point source pollution from agricultural areas can lead to the degradation of downstream water bodies, including eutrophication and harmful algal blooms, due to high concentrations of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) emanating from these areas. One source of agricultural runoff that is often overlooked, originates from agricultural production areas, which have impervious surfaces, such as paved and compacted areas, barnyards, cow paths, and silage bunker storage; these areas generate stormwater runoff and contribute to pollution during storm events.
This research evaluates two built stormwater runoff treatment systems designed to treat high concentrations of nutrients in runoff from a dairy farm. …
