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.
