Abstract |
The U.S. EPA sponsored a project to collect and catalog information from wastewater treatment wetlands into a computer database. EPA has also written a user friendly, stand-alone, menu-driven computer program to allow anyone with DOS 3.3 or higher to access the information in the database. The paper discusses the database and the accompanying program. The database contains information for 323 wetland cells at 178 locations in the U.S. and Canada. The information provided includes general information (e.g. names of contacts, dimensions, media and plants used, permit limits) as well as water quality data (BOD, TSS, N-series, P, DO, and decal coliforms). The database is a collection of existing informations; no new data were generated by this project. |
