The sediment in stormwater ponds affects water quality. By studying sediment characteristics in wetlands, we can understand how well they filter out pollutants like phosphorus and metals. Two studies in Australia and Germany looked at sediment in wetlands to see how it impacts water quality. They found that the type of sediment entering the wetland affects how well it can clean the water. This information can help improve the design and management of pollution control facilities in the future.
