Initiating water quality sampling of stormwater treatment wetlands in Galveston Bay watersheds

Summary

AgriLife will develop a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) covering water quality monitoring protocol and sample three stormwater wetland sites designed and planted by Texas A&M in the Galveston Bay Area. Three stormwater wetland sites will be sampled during qualifying rain events. An expected average of 2 events per month will give data on 39 events over the sampling period (15 months). AgriLife will prepare the results for dissemination in a white paper, presentations, and on AgriLife system websites.
