Description	As the role of the Soil Conservation Service in water quality activities becomes more certain, vegetation (plant material) is likely to emerge as a major tool to use in soil and water conservation to address water quality problems. The plant materials program involvement will include the evaluation of promising plant materials for improving water quality and ultimately to provide the opportunity to expand the number of plant species that are suitable for agricultural and industrial uses for pollution control. Research information on the number and kind of plant species that are recommended for improving water quality is very limited. The utilization of plants for natural and constructed wetlands, filter strips, and land application of agricultural wastewater is a new concept for wastewater treatment. A fairly new technology of treating wastewater with constructed wetlands is being explored. Research has demonstrated that wetland ecosystems have a natural assimilative capacity to remove organic pollutants. If these systems can be constructed to provide a secondary treatment or final polishing effect, then overall water quality to receiving water resources may be improved and at lower construction, operation, and maintenance costs.
