Abstract
This thesis evaluates the water chemistry and hydrology of an urban environmental preserve in advance of wetland construction. Pondhawk Natural Area (PNA) is located in densely populated Palm Beach County, Florida and was acquired through the County's Environmentally Sensitive Lands Acquisition Program as a protected natural area. In an effort to restore the natural area to pre-development conditions Palm Beach County will construct a wetland in the area where hydric conditions persisted prior to the extensive canal construction that lowered groundwater levels. Results of this study wi II provide initial characterization of hydrology and water quality of PNA before wetland construction and lay the groundwork for future monitoring and improvements.
