Key lessons
The research showed regularly maintained ERM system efficiently decreased pollutants in the tributary of Glinščica and that combination of vegetated ditch and meandered stream for this purpose is an adequate and promising technology that can be further developed.

Information on Water quality overall improvements
The results showed efficient removal of BOD5 (9%), organic N (24%), ammonia (7%), nitrites (84%), nitrates (68%), total N (40%) and total P (3%) in the entire ERM system in the third season. Vegetated ditch was efficient in removal of ammonia (38%), nitrites (91%) and nitrates (63%) and meandered stream was efficient in removal of total P (10%). With the exception of suspended and dissolved solids, pollutants concentrations at the end of the ERM system stayed within the permitted levels for outflow. The results showed the entire ERM system to be more efficient in removal of nitrites and ammonia in season 2008/2009 compared to previous year. Removal of sediments from the pond proved to be essential for efficiency of vegetated ditch, since the ditch reached higher efficiency for almost all parameters after maintenance work in the summer 2008

Hydro-morphological, physical and chemical, in addition to water and sediments' toxicity, reed productivity and ERM system's plant diversity.
Monitoring upstream station
The water level was measured at Inflow and at additional 6 sampling points in the VDD.
Monitoring downstream station
Outflow of the VDD and the outflow of the RBM

Performance impact estimation information
pH, EC, DO and T were measured with portable meters WTW Multiline P4 according to Standard Methods. Hydraulic residence time (HRT) was measured with the tracer test with CaCl on 25.7.2007 and 26.7.2007. And statistical analyses.

Summary
The innovative ecoremediation (ERM) system, which consist in a sedimentation pond for the deposition of coarse particles and reduction of current flow velocity, for treatment of the polluted tributary of Glinščica, Slovenia, was installed in 2006 by Limnos Itd.
