Abstract
Increased and nutrient rich runoff from urban and agricultural developments caused a degradation of water and sediment quality of the Indian River Lagoon in east central coastal Florida. One of the restoration plans being developed for the lagoon includes a 5,460-acre retention/detention area to manage storm drainage, and a 2,240-acre constructed wetland that filters nutrients and sediments transported by the runoff. Various plan components were optimized by hydrologic simulations using HSPF.
