Managing Stormwater Plants

On July 18, 2025, the Minnesota Stormwater Research Council held its annual meeting that included field tours of research project locations throughout the Twin Cities Metro Area. This video is a recording of the presentation by Jacques Finlay and Ben Janke at the Bell Museum pond in St Paul, MN on their research project, “Managing urban pond vegetation to enhance water quality benefits”. Plants play a bigger role in stormwater ponds than you might think. This research project explores how pond vegetation, especially floating and submerged plants, can affect water quality and phosphorus levels in urban ponds. Partnering with the City of Bloomington, researchers are studying how pond design, maintenance, and vegetation management can be optimized to reduce internal phosphorus loading and improve overall pond performance. Their findings could help Minnesota communities enhance water quality, identify retrofit opportunities, and protect downstream lakes and streams. Support for this project is provided by the Minnesota Stormwater Research Program with funding from the Clean Water Fund from the State of Minnesota’s Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. Additional support comes from the Minnesota Stormwater Research Council and its member cities, watersheds, private businesses, the University of Minnesota Water Resources Center, Minnesota Sea Grant, the College of Food, Agriculture, and Natural Resource Sciences, and the National Institutes for Water Resources funded by the US Geological Survey.
