SUMMARY OF
PROJECT
ACTIVITIES
The objectives of the project are: (1)determine the efficacy of Ultraviolet-C (UV) light to treat aquatic vegetation in unlined canals;
(2)determine the optimal treatment time during an aquatic macrophyte’s growth cycle; (3)construct a UV treatment time to macrophyte density relationship within unlined canal; (4)quantify aquatic vegetation regrowth rates following UV treatments of varying exposure times.
SELECTION
JUSTIFICATION
Reclamation did not solicit full and open competition for this award based on the following criteria:
The University of Nevada, Reno has been leading the charge to research the Ultraviolet-C (UV) treatment system to remove aquatic vegetation.
They have been studying the treatment system both in the lab and in the field with the goal of determining optimal treatments to (1) ensure plant mortality and (2) prevent further propagation. Between UNR's experience and knowledge of treatment systems, they are the research experts in the field in using UV to treat aquatic plants and the only entity that would be able to research the UV treatment systems to treat aquatic plants in unlined canals.
