This constructed wetlands bibliography, compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) and the Water Quality Information Center at the National Agricultural Library, consists of more than 600 citations. One hundred and sixty-one of these have abstracts. The bibliography has been divided into seven major categories:

AGNPS: Agricultural Nonpoint Source Pollution
AMD: Acid Mine Drainage
AW: Agricultural Wastes
BG: Basic and General
HW: Household Wastes
IW: Industrial Wastes
UR: Urban Runoff

Within each major category, many, but not all, of the citations were subcategorized. Each of the citations in the original document has 10 fields as shown in the example below from the Acid Mine Drainage category. There have been 76 records added which contain the major citation fields but are in a different format.

 ANNOTATION  A Jackson County Alabama sediment pond that received acid mine
             drainage was cited for chronic effluent discharges.  Because the
             impoundment had acceptable characteristics (moderate water            
             quality, adequate siting characteristics, and suitable geology and
             hydrology) a constructed wetland was built to treat acid drainage.
             The constructed wetland was environmentally effective and
             cost-beneficial in treating the acidic mine drainage.
