متن کاملConstructed Wetland Systems as a Methodology for the Treatment of Wastewater in Bucaramanga Industrial Park
Effluent discharges from municipal, industrial, and agricultural activities constitute major sources of pollution on land and water bodies. During the 1990s, large-scale application of Constructed Wetlands (CWs) as a remediation option drew much attention globally from the public and green groups alike. The most common application of CWs is for flow management in river system and little is docu...
