Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment

Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment: A Review

The first experiments on the use of wetland plants to treat wastewaters were carried out in the early 1950s by Dr. Käthe Seidel in Germany. The first full scale systems were put in operation during the late 1960s and since then constructed wetland systems have been spreading throughout the world. At present, there are several types of constructed wetlands used for wastewater treatment. Free wat...

Applications of Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment

During the past decades, the high cost of conventional treatment processes has produced much economic pressure and they are not as natural methods as we expected. Thus, engineers begin to search for some creative, cost effective, and environmentally sound ways to treat wastewaters. Constructed wetland is a man made system which provides us many benefits and it is a very attractive way for many ...

Municipal wastewater treatment using constructed wetlands

The aim of the paper is to present alternative to conventional (i.e., the commonly used biological treatment plants) wastewater treatment systems, appropriate for small communities and settlements. These systems are the natural treatment systems. The emphasis here is given on constructed wetlands (CWs). First, advantages and disadvantages of these systems are presented compared to conventional ...
