Keywords used
- Keywords are marked with an asterisk (*)
Treatment – In the context of wetlands, this means that the wetlands work to clean the water that passes through them on a physical and chemical level. This leads to a healthier environment for animals, plants and humans to enjoy!
Biodiversity – This is the variety of plant and animal life found within a habitat or area. The more plant and animal species in the area, the more biodiverse it is!
Flood management – Wetlands have the ability to reduce the risk of flooding in areas due to their ability to slow the velocity of the water that passes through it.
Stormwater interception – Stormwater is defined as large volumes of water resulting from heavy falls of rain or snow. A wetlands ability to intercept stormwater can result in reduced flooding of target areas.
Nutrient removal – If the level of nutrients in a system gets too high, it can cause various issues such as algal blooms and reduced oxygen levels which, reduces water quality for plants and animals as well as humans. Wetlands have the ability to remove nutrients through the plant and microbial communities found within them. Nutrient removal is a form of treatment.
Nature-based solution – This is the concept of using nature as a tool for combating the environmental challenges that humanity faces in today’s world. In the context of Kilbogget Park, the challenge was undesirable water quality and the nature based solution was an Integrated Constructed Wetland to improve water quality.
Civic amenity – This can be described as something that all members of the public can avail of or use in some way. Kilbogget Park is a civic amenity in the sense that anyone can enter and avail of its aesthetic values for free.
