The project consists of an extensive environmental restoration of an 8-mile portion of the Salt River confluence with the Gila and Agua Fria rivers (3 confluent river basins). The purpose of the development was to construct a regulating artificial wetland that would mitigate differences of effluence from the main local water treatment plant and in addition to reestablish a large amount of habitat for native vegetation and regional biodiversity. Complete, the development involved the construction of approx. 128 acres of wetlands, 38 acres of riparian corridors, 134 acres of open water/marsh areas, and about 69 acres of habitat. Towards the finalization of the design phase, the total project costs were set to reach a sum of $99,320,000.00. A cost analysis was completed on biological Nutrient Removal (BNR), specifically Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous, of the pre-development plant, demonstration project and full scale flow regulating facilities.","Page keywords":"constructed wetlands, artificial wetland, wetland system, restoration","Page language":"en","Page license":"CC-BY-SA-3.0","Page title":"Tres Rios Constructed Wetland System","Page views":"543","Page year":"Sunday, 01-Jan-12 00:00:00 UTC","Project coordinates":"33.448436111111, -112.07414166667","Project cost":"99320000","Project location":"Phoenix, Arizona","Project status":"Deployed","Project year":"Friday, 01-Jan-10 00:00:00 UTC","Modification date":"Tuesday, 18-Jun-24 22:35:10 UTC"}
