Study shows Sweetwater Wetlands Park successful at reducing pollution

Good News Notes: “As difficult as it may be to believe, Sweetwater Wetlands Park was not built to provide a place to spot alligators and birds. It was constructed — in the shape of an alligator’s head, by the way — to restore the natural flow into Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park and to clean the water before it seeps into the Floridan aquifer and is ultimately tapped as our drinking water.

This duck has been dipping its head under the leafy green plants that coat the surface of some of the ponds at Sweetwater Wetlands Park. I'm not sure what the official name of that plant is, but in my family, we call it duckweed. #duck #green #instagramaz #southwest #explorearizona #see_arizona #landscape #thegreatsw #thegreatsouthwest #igarizona #igsouthwest #exploremore #nature #natureporn #outdoors #explore #letsgosomewhere #trekamerica #divinedeserts #divine_deserts #igtucson #igerstucson #sweetwaterwetlandspark (at Sweetwater Wetlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgIE30iPpyN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
