| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Use a golf course wetland to improve residential runoff. 2. Protect and improve a sensitive wetland environment. 3. Regenerate water supplies for golf course use." This project will determine "if the created wetlands on Purdue's new Kampen Golf Course can filter possible impurities in runoff from the adjacent neighborhood." States "it appears that as the golf course and wetlands mature, they become more efficient in improving the quality of water as it flow through the course." Reports that "key parameters like nitrogen and pesticide concentrations were either decreased as the water circulated through the golf course wetlands or were not detectable at either sampling site," and that "no unusually high levels of any of a wide array of potential pollutants, incluing pesticides and metals, were detected at the golf course sampling sites." This five-year study began in 1998. |

| USGA Summary Points: | As the golf course and the wetland mature, they become more efficient in improving the water quality as it flows through the course. Key parameters like nitrogen and pesticide concentrations were either decreased as the water circulated through the golf course wetlands or were not detectable at either sampling site. No unusually high levels of any of a wide array of potential pollutants, including pesticides and metals, were detected at the golf course sampling sites. |
