Description
This thesis evaluates the water chemistry and hydrology of an urban
environmental preserve in advance of wetland construction. Pondhawk Natural Area
(PNA) is located in densely populated Palm Beach County, Florida and was acquired
through the County's Environmentally Sensitive Lands Acquisition Program as a
protected natural area. In an effort to restore the natural area to pre-development
conditions Palm Beach County will construct a wetland in the area where hydric
conditions persisted prior to the extensive canal construction that lowered groundwater
levels. Results of this study wi II provide initial characterization of hydrology and water
quality of PNA before wetland construction and lay the groundwork for future
monitoring and improvements.
