Background: There is growing interest in the natural and constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment. While nutrient removal in wetlands has been extensively investigated, information regarding the degradation of the pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) has only recently been emerging. PPCPs are widely distributed in urban wastewaters and can be removed to some extent by the con...

Mammal communities were studied from May through August, 1988 to 1990, at four wetland sites in Coshocton and Muskingum counties, OH. Sites represented varying degrees of disturbance from mining activity and subsequent reclamation techniques, including a wetland constructed to treat mine water drainage. Each site was composed of a series of three cattail (Typba latifolid) cells for a balanced e...

The main goal of this thesis is the assessment of the clogging degree in the horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland of Martinlongo and Barrada WWTP, included in Algarve Multi-Municipal Sanitation System Despite of constructed wetland treatment processes being natural and constructed wetlands easy to operate, clogging phenomena can be quite complex and challenging in a way that it is nec...

The use of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment has been proposed as an intermediate technological solution for handling wastewater. The aim of the study was to assess the efficiency of a constructed wetland at Egerton University, Kenya for heavy metals removal from wastewater. The wetland has been used for tertiary treatment of effluent from waste stabilization ponds system since 2007...

The large land area requirement of constructed wetlands (CWs) is a major limitation of its application especially in densely populated and mountainous areas. This review paper provides insights on different strategies applied for the reduction of land area including stack design and intensification of CWs with different aeration methods. The impacts of different aeration methods on the performa...
