Abstract
This project was part of a larger five-year, multi-phase research and demonstration effort to study water quality and agricultural drainage wells (ADWs). The goal was to evaluate the use of constructed wetlands for treatment of subsurface drainage prior to release to groundwater through ADWs and to develop design and operation criteria for these treatment wetlands.
