Effect of Ecological Ditch and Wetland in Reducing Farmland Drainage Pollutant in Hetao Irrigation District
To explore the treatment model for farmland drainage pollutants,this study conducted an experimental in-vestigation from July to September 2023 on the interception and purification effects of ecological drainage ditches,constructed wetlands,and their combined system in the Hetao Irrigation District.The findings demonstrate that vari-ous treatment modes in ecological drainage ditches and constructed wetlands effectively remove nitrogen and phos-phorus pollutants.Specifically,the reduction efficiency of total nitrogen(TN)and total phosphorus(TP)in eco-logical drainage ditches treated with skew stem Astragalus membranaceus,yellow sweet clover,alfalfa,bio-ball ma-trix,and bio-sheet matrix was 21.09%and 23.84%,12.06%and 26.67%,20.08%and 34.15%,23.65%and 20.56%,and 19.92%and 25.83%,respectively.In the emergent and submerged aquatic plant areas,the reduction efficiency of TN and TP was 24.28%and 17.89%,and 26.85%and 10.21%,respectively.The ecological drainage ditches treated with alfalfa and bio-ball matrix showed superior performance in TP and TN removal,respectively.Similarly,emergent and submerged plant areas exhibited better TP and TN removal efficiencies.The combined sys-tem of ecological drainage ditch and constructed wetland achieved TN and TP removal rates of 37.55%and 11.47%,respectively,effectively realizing step-by-step interception,adsorption and purification of pollutants.This system significantly enhances the removal and purification of nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants,thus mitigating ag-ricultural non-point source pollution.
