ABSTRACT
A hydrophyte treatment system was constructed in Bielkowo in order to protect drinking water intake
for the city of Gda.sk against surface and point sources of contaminants. The system consists of two
subunits: a wet unit (pond), filled with water all the time and a dry unit (extension of the pond), designed for
storm water. In the wet unit are placed dams constructed of medium size sand. The system, especially dams,
is inhibited with macrophytes. The drainage system collects water percolating through dams, and directs it
downstream. The system was constructed in 1997. After implementation of the system substantial improvement
in water quality occurred.
