Event Details
Like their natural counterparts, constructed wetlands can be used to treat sewage, stormwater runoff, or industrial wastewater—often at a lower cost and with less maintenance than traditional options. Dr. Michelle Marincel Payne, Associate Professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, will discuss the benefits of wetlands, the research her undergraduate students are conducting with constructed wetlands in the lab, and the ways new state legislation will impact isolated wetlands and seasonal streams.
