Surface water flow resistance due to emergent wetland vegetation

The key to a successful wetland design is duplicating the hydroperiod of the desired wetland type. Dense wetland vegetation affects surface water flow rates by increasing flow resistance. Prior research represented the vegetation as individual stems; however, many wetland species grow in clumps. The...
