The objective of this project is to develop and test a land-based wetland treatment system (LBWTS) capable of removing nitrogen pollution from small to medium-sized bodies of water. Nitrogen water pollution, also known as eutrophication, causes an excess of algae to grow in bodies of water. This algae strips resources from other lifeforms in the water, destroying the natural ecosystem.

Our team collaborated with Environmental Engineering 4 on this project.
