Constructed Wetlands for Small Community Wastewater Treatment
Publication: Engineering Approaches to Ecosystem Restoration
Abstract
The performance of both surface and subsurface flow constructed wetlands present challenges to the designer because of natural biological processes leading to seasonal fluctuations in performance. The three systems described demonstrate both the problems and successes in designing wastewater treatment systems for the removal of BOD, TSS and nitrogen using constructed wetlands. Wetlands provide an attractive, low cost, low energy use alternative, but the designer must take into account both the advantages and the limitations.
