Water Purification in Artificial Wetlands from Livestock and Farmland Wastewater

Artificial wetlands and water quality improvement.

This paper illustrates the role of plants to assist the treatment of water pollution in man-made wetlands in tropical and temperate climates. It also considers the potential for environmental education of these wetland systems. The management and natural treatment of pollution is described in the Mai Po Marshes, Hong Kong and a wetland in London which is also an important site for birds. The de...

Bioremediation of Textile Dyes Wastewater: Potential of Bacterial Isolates from a Mining Soils and Wetlands

New bacteria that was provided from contaminated soils surrounding the coal, aluminum, salt mines and wetland separated, synthesized and characterized. The achievements show that this soils and waters have five disposed bacteria consist of Microbacterium SP, Micrococcaceae Bacterium, Planomicrobium SP, Brevndimonas Aurantiaca and Halomonas SP. Secondly, the result of the potential of remova...

Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment

Removal Mechanisms in Constructed Wastewater Wetlands

The use of constructed wetlands is a relatively new technology but the system is gaining popularity due to its low tech system for treating wastewater (DeBusk, 1999b).Constructed wetlands have found to be effective in treating domestic wastewater where municipalities are concerned with reducing suspended solids, organic matter, phosphorus, nitrogen, and pathogens. Constructed wetlands mimic nat...

Investigation of Fresh Water Harvesting from Playa’s Wetlands

Playas are low-lands which is considered to be the locations of accumulation of superficial and ground waters fromhigher elevations and these waters have different types of salts and various salinity level. Therefore, because of lack ofrainfall and fresh-water both for human and animal useage or even for plants, it is needed to apply proper methods toharvest fresh water from these saline-waters...
