| Summary: | accurately predicted total phosphorus outflow concentration and the Des Plaines River Wetland Demonstration Project, Area, Florida; Jackson Bottom Experimental Wetlands, Oregon; concentrations in receiving waters are a prime concern due to consistently over-predicted annual phosphorus retention, the Constructed and natural wetlands have been used to treat ecosystem model, were evaluated at three wetland sites across Illinois. The mass balance model with first order areal model provided the smallest average percent error for annual models, the mass balance model with first order areal uptake, outflow concentration, with percent error ranging from -6.8 % percent error in both outflow concentration and annual phosphorus outflow concentrations and annual phosphorus phosphorus retention. However, the detailed model most retention within treatment wetlands. Three phosphorus retention, with percent error ranging from 0. I % to 6.9 %. The detailed ecosystem model yielded the highest average the role phosphorus plays in freshwater lake eutrophication. the U.S. The three sites included: Boney Marsh Experimental the Vollenweider-based wetland model, and the detailed to 6.0 %. Although the Vollenweider-based wetland model trends at all three of the wetland sites. uptake provided the smallest average percent error for Various numerical models have been developed to predict total wastewater from both point and nonpoint sources.
