Abstract
A study was conducted to determine effects on water quality from flooded paddies used for the commercial culture of wild rice, Zizania aquatica. Water samples were taken from flooded impoundments on fertilized peat and mineral soils as well as unfertilized peat soils. Weekly changes in the chemical and physical parameters of water entering, within, and discharged from paddies were measured through the summer. No significant changes were observed in the receiving waters until fall draindown occurred when increases in dissolved solids, total Kjeldahl-nitrogen and total phosphorus occurred in the Clearwater River. Algal assay tests indicated that the increase in nutrients at peak discharge was sufficient to increase algal populations. The quantities of nutrients released from rice paddies were not significantly greater than would be expected in normal runoff in the area and much less than the amounts released from most agricultural endeavors.
