Engineered Wetlands

• Engineered wetlands collect storm water runoff from streets in surrounding communities.  Storm water runoff contains sediments and pollutants. 
• Engineered wetlands allow sediments to settle and pollutants to be removed before water enters Fish Creek, the Bow River and ground water sources.
• Fish Creek Provincial Park and the City of Calgary have partnered in the development of a variety of engineered wetlands in the park to improve water quality in Fish Creek and the Bow River.
