MITIGATION OF ATRAZINE IN DRAINAGE DITCHES AND CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS FOR AGRICULTURAL NON-POINT SOURCE RUNOFFPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Pp. 486-493 in Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Environmental Regulations–II Proceedings of the 8-12 November 2003 Conference (Albuquerque, New Mexico USA), Publication Date 8 November 2003. .(doi:10.13031/2013.15602)Authors: R. F. Cullum, M. T. Moore, S. S. Knight, and P. Rodrique Keywords: Atrazine, drainage ditch, constructed wetlands Atrazine was amended into an agricultural drainage ditch and constructed wetlands for the purpose of monitoring transport and fate of the pesticide. Aqueous half lives of 6 and 16 to 48 days in drainage ditch and constructed wetlands, respectively, were found. Flow paths of 50 m and 103 to 281 m were required to mitigate atrazine in the drainage ditch and constructed wetlands, repectively. This information provided design parameters for ditches and constructed wetlands to mitigate the herbicide in agricultural runoff. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
