In this study, various types of nutrient models were tested by using two tears's water quality data collected from the
stormwater wetland in Korea. Based on results, most important factor influencing nitrogen removal was hydraulic
loading rate, which indicates that surface area of wetland is more important than its volumetric capacity, and model
proposed by WEF was found to give a least error between measured and calculated values. For the phosphorus, in
case assuming a power relationship between rate constant and temperature, the best prediction result were obtained,
but temperature was most sensitive parameter affecting phosphorus removal. In addition, denitrification was always a
limiting step for the nitrogen removal in this particular wetland mostly due to the lack of carbon source and high
dissolved oxygen concentration. In this paper, several alternatives to improve nitrogen removal, including proper
arrangement and designation of wetland elements and use of floating plants or synthetic fiber mat to control oxygen
level and to capture the algal particles were proposed and discussed.
