Nitrogen Transformations in Ponds Receiving Polluted Water from Nonpoint Sources1

G. B. Reddy and K. R. Reddy2

ABSTRACT

A laboratory study was conducted to determine the role of N transformations in ponds receiving inorganic N-rich effluents from septic fields, agricultural, and pasture watersheds. Undisturbed sediment columns were obtained from three ponds. Floodwater in the columns was enriched with either 15NH+4-N or 15NO3-N. Ammonium removal rates ranged from 55 to 85 mg N m–2 d–1, while NO3-N removal rates ranged from 48 to 71 mg N m–2 d–1. Twenty-three to 49% of floodwater 15NH+4-N diffused into the sediment during a 22-d incubation period and was recovered in 15NH+4-N (6–12% of the floodwater 15NH+4-N) and organic 15N fractions (14–37% of the floodwater 15NH+4-N). When 15NO3-N was added to the floodwater, about 7% was tied up in the sediment. Ponds receiving effluents from septic tanks and pastured areas retained less floodwater N in the sediment compared to sediments of the pond receiving runoff from agricultural watershed.

Key Words: N removal • nitrification • denitrification • retention ponds • aquatic systems • drainage effluents • watershed
