Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment: Sustainability Revolution in Water Management
Publication: Green Technologies for Sustainable Water Management
Abstract
This chapter introduces constructed wetland (CWs) for wastewater treatment, with a focus on the definition, classification, structures and common removal mechanisms of pollutants. It provides an overview of the application of CWs for wastewater treatment. These technologies are useful for improving the sustainability of CW wastewater treatments, including improvement and optimization in system design, operation, and external enhancing technologies for better treatment performance and recycling methods of wetland resources. CWs are artificially engineered ecosystems designed and constructed to manipulate biological processes within a semicontrolled natural environment. The growing knowledge about wetland functions and values have caused a radical change of attitude toward CWs. Plant selection, enhancing techniques, and plant reclamation and recycling in CWs are important factors for the sustainable design, operation, and maintenance of CWs. They also prove to be an affordable alternative in sustainable CW wastewater treatments, especially for small communities and remote locations.
