Abstract

This research study is designed to investigate the fate of phosphorus and nitrogen in detention/retention ponds receiving highway runoff. Investigations comprising loading, quality and isolation chamber studies have been carried out in a 1.2 ha, shallow pond located in Central Florida. Transformation and exchange rates for nutrients across the water sediment interface have been determined. Approximately 99% of the phosphorus input accumulates in the sediments and 85–90% of the nitrogen input is removed from the system. The study represents the first step towards determination of design criteria for detention/retention ponds based on water quality improvement.
