Amano described activities conducted in conjunction with Jim Sartoris
of USGS related to the function of wetlands in terms of water quality
change (water treatment) and mutual relationship with aquatic ecosystems.
USGS is pursuing studies focused on water quality changes and the
effect of macrophytes in constructed wetlands in Hemet, CA. PWRI is
conducting studies focused on water quality changes driven by aquatic
ecosystems in Watarase reservoir. Amano also presented the results
of field measurements aimed at analyzing the phenomenon of inorganic
nutrients increase accompanying the cessation of phytoplankton blooms
in Watarase reservoir in early June, and its analysis using numerical
simulation. |
