Dignard articifical wetland, Year 3 of operation - 1997 year-end report

This report describes the third year of operation of the Dignard Constructed Wetlands near Embrun in Eastern Ontario. The introduction and the chapter about wetland system design are a synthesis of sections of two previous reports, Proposed Natural System, Dignard Farm - Embrun, Ontario (Weil et al., 1994) and Dignard Artificial Wetland 1995 Year End Report (Weil et al., 1996). The chapter about system performance contains a synthesis of the results obtained during the first two years of operation (Weil et al., 1997). These chapters have been included as background material for readers not familiar with the three previous reports. Readers are referred to these publications for further details on design, construction and results.
