DESIGN FEATURES OF A CONSTRUCTED MINI WET POND FOR WATER QUALITY CONTROL AND RUNOFF STORAGE (13PG)

In stormwater management, controlling water quantity and stormwater generated pollution at the source needs to be practised towards achieving ecologically sustainable development in urban areas in Malaysia.  Constructed mini wet ponds can be used for small scale runoff/flow attenuation which provide temporary runoff storage to reduce downstream flow peaks; stormwater quality management and control through removing of nutrients and pollutants from stormwater runoff; water quality improvement by sedimentation and natural biological processes; provide landscape and recreational values; restore or provide habitats for flora and fauna and water supply.

DEVELOPMENT OF PUTRAJAYA WETLAND FOR STORMWATER POLLUTION CONTROL (8PG)

The Putrajaya Wetland is developed with the primary objective of treating the catchment runoff before it drains into the Putrajaya Lake to ensure that the Lake’s water quality meets the standard required for body contact recreation. A multi-cell and multi-stage design was adopted for its advantage of better hydraulic performance and retention of pollutants, maximises areas for planting of macrophytes and facilitates accessibility for maintenance of the wetlands. The constructed wetlands involve an area of 197 hectares and 12.3 million wetland plants is one of the largest constructed wetland in the tropics. It was completed in 17.5 months despite the lack of relevant data and experience in the design and construction of tropical wetland. Water quality monitoring carried out shows that the constructed wetland is effective in stormwater pollution control.

Final Concept Report: Echo Park Lake Rehabilitation Proposition O Project (66PG)

This report provides a conceptual overview of the proposed Echo Park Lake Rehabilitation Project (project). Located at 751 Echo Park Avenue, in the Echo Park/Silverlake community of Los Angeles, Echo Park Lake is a 13-acre urban lake surrounded by 16 acres of recreational open space. Echo Park Lake is connected to the existing storm drain system and provides hydraulic relief to the neighboring area. Water quality is a serious concern in the Lake, and it was identified on the 2006 California 303(d) list of impaired water bodies for the following pollutants/stressors: algae, ammonia, copper, eutrophic, lead, odor, PCBs, pH, and trash.

THE PUTRAJAYA WETLAND PROJECT (5PG)

Putrajaya, Malaysia’s new Federal Government Administrative Centre is being developed as an intelligent city and city in a garden. Central to this city in a garden concept is the 400 hectare man-made lake created by damming of Sg. Chuau and Sg. Bisa. The resulting lake (shown in Figure 1) forms the centerpiece of the new city giving it a distinctive character and identity. In order to ensure that the water entering the lake is clean and suitable for body contact recreational activities, an environmentally friendly approach by constructing a series of wetlands to treat the catchment runoff before it enters Putrajaya Lake was adopted by Perbadanan Putrajaya.

The Use of Vetiver Grass Wetlands for Sewerage Treatment in Australia (10PG)

The Esk Shire Council has recently installed a Vetiver Grass Wetlands System to treat sewerage effluent at Toogoolawah in South East Queensland. The sewerage treatment plant is situated on a 22-ha site on the northern edge of town. The aim of this scheme was to improve water quality before the effluent discharges to the natural wetlands. The biggest problem with the quality of the effluent is its high nutrient loading. With the recent changes to license conditions imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency, the existing treatment plant no longer complies with the license and an upgrade of the plant was required.

WETLAND HABITAT MANAGEMENT: A Guide for Landowners (44PG)

The purpose of this handbook is to provide you, the landowner, with a reference of practical and successful wetland restoration, enhancement, and management techniques for your property. Most landowners value the countless natural resources and recreational opportunities their lands provide. However, landowners also view their property as an economic investment and value its potential for income. Therefore, this publication was designed to furnish landowners with an economically sound, yet practical approach to wetland restoration, protection, and management.
