Abstract:The abundant rain in Florida can produce significant runoff from urban and agricultural areas that can carry pollutants and fertilizers into water bodies and groundwater. This runoff is generally high in nitrogen, which then leads to an overabundance of nitrogen in groundwater. Roadside ditches and storm drains are a major conduit or runoff and a means of controlling it. Therefore, they present opportunities for treatment. Researchers at the University of Central Florida studied the use of bio-absorption activated media (BAM) in linear ditches as a method of removing dissolved organics nitrogen (DON) from runoff.
