Wetland an Economical Solution for Wastewater Rehabilitation

An innovative solution for managing waterworks sludge: Developing an alum sludge-based multi-stage constructed wetland system for wastewater treatment

Waterworks sludge continues to be an inescapable by-product of the potable water treatment process. Accordingly, final disposal of the sludge remains one of the most significant pressing problems for the potable water treatment industry. The possibility of reusing the sludge as a main substrate in a novel constructed wetland system was investigated in this study. Results show that significant p...

Conversion of Wastewater Ponds for Wetland Mitigation

The Conceptual Wetland Mitigation Plan for Phase II expansion to the John J. Briscoe Reservoir (Briscoe Reservoir) near Monroe, Georgia uses innovative approaches to restoring palustrine wetland functions to existing lacustrine habitats. This paper presents strategies for the design of forested and scrub-shrub wetland habitats in former wastewater treatment ponds and wetland design approach and...

Sunga constructed wetland for wastewater management

Nutrient removal from wastewater by wetland systems

For past so many years wetlands have served functions like providing habitat for aquatic and terrestrial plants and animals, for recreational activities and for treatment of polluted water. Both natural and constructed wetlands gave been used for treatment for wastewater from sewage, septic tanks, agricultural activities, industries, landfills and highways, etc. Treatment of wastewater in a wet...

Wastewater Treatment with Vertical Flow Constructed Wetland

Water is one of the most important elements involved in the creation and development of healthy life. Haphazard disposal of untreated wastewater from households as well as institutions and industry is causing severe deterioration of water bodies in many urban areas in the developing world. There are several methods to treat the municipal wastewater for intended use. One of the methods of the tr...
