Project description:

This project improves water quality in Putah Creek by treating stormwater runoff at UC Davis where there are sources of nutrients, such as phosphates and nitrates, and sediment discharge. All stormwater from UC Davis flows to Putah Creek; this project reduces the amount of pollution entering Putah using bioreactors.
