EVALUATION OF TECHNIQUES TO ENHANCE THE WATER INFILTRATION RATE AT WATER RETENTION PONDS

EVALUATION OF TECHNIQUES TO ENHANCE THE WATER INFILTRATION RATE AT WATER RETENTION PONDS
PI: Vivek Tandon
Sponsor: EL PASO WATER UTILITIES PSB
Civil Engineering
Amount awarded: $27,500

El Paso Water Utilities uses water retention ponds to mitigate flooding. Lower infiltration rates in the ponds reduce the effectiveness of ponds and provides an amicable breeding environment for mosquitoes. This project will evaluate the effectiveness of various techniques to enhance the rate of infiltration in retention ponds, thus, mitigating problems associated with standing water.
