Excerpts from an article published in the San Francisco Gate:
– Manmade wetlands could help ease manmade problems in what was once the world's largest manmade lake.
– A planned system of wetlands around the lake should help soak up phosphorous. The first in place is a nine-acre complex that pumps water through two treatment ponds to filter it before it feeds the lake.
– Farmers have added manure storage buildings and are taking other measures to cut phosphorous runoff. Livestock farmer Jerry Will is working with a machine that draws phosphorous out of pig manure, changing it into crystals.
