Results Nitrate concentrations are high in the
ditch water. Standard deviations around the mean
NO3- values were atypically high for Site D (+/- 0.91 on 5/12/08 and +/- 0. 58 on 5/19/08) and Site A (+/- 0.48 on 5/12/08) reducing our confidence in the accuracy of the mean values on those dates.
Ammonia and phosphate levels were quite low.

Conclusions More sampling is needed to determine
how representative these results are. Seasonal variations are likely to be high.
It would be interesting to see if nutrient concentrations and speciation changes along the ditch system due to phytoremediation.
