The Floating Treatment Wetlands project is in collaboration with the City of Grande Prairie.  Using rafts to support wetland vegetation, water filtration and habitat is increased with the stormwater pond.  Water quality is monitored at both the inlet and outlet of the treatment stormwater pond and also at a reference site. This is helping us to understand how  the floating treatment wetlands are improving the water quality.

More importantly, this is a great education and awareness opportunity about how “weeds” can provide important functions – like cleaning water.
