Protecting water quality
Clemson
scientists are working to balance economically viable development with
good water quality in South Carolina. The researchers are studying the
ways that housing developments, golf courses, agriculture, and urban development
can cause movement of fertilizers, pesticides, and other contaminants
into surface and ground waters.
They
are also investigating the use of natural and man-made wetlands to remove
and process these contaminants before they enter the state's waterways.
These low-cost, low-energy, and low-maintenance best management
practices will preserve the quality of our water resources and allow continued
economic development throughout the state.
