With the unique advantages of lower operational and maintenance cost, the applications of
subsurface flow constructed wetlands for the treatment of wastewater have been increasing …

The first experiments on the use of wetland plants to treat wastewaters were carried out in
the early 1950s by Dr. Käthe Seidel in Germany and the first full-scale systems were put …

Studies on mechanisms and efficiencies of wastewater treatment with constructed wetland,
mainly from developed countries, conducted mainly in the past 2 decades are reviewed. The …

Balancing the amount of N needed for optimum plant growth while minimizing the NO3 that
is transported to ground and surface waters remains a major challenge for everyone …

This review summarizes the microbial mechanisms responsible for removal of carbon,
nitrogen, and sulfur compounds in treatment wetlands (TWs) and identifies, categorizes and …

Eutrophication is a problem which became widely recognised by the scientific community in
the 1940s and 1950s. It raised public concern, resulting in increased research effort and …

This comprehensive text provides the reader with both a detailed reference and a unified
course on wastewater treatment. Aimed at scientists and engineers, it deals with the …

Constructed wetlands technology is emerging as a low-cost, easily operated efficient
alternative to conventional treatment systems for a wide variety of wastewaters. This chapter …

This report describes investigations using artificial wetlands which quantitatively assess the
role of each of three higher aquatic plant types, Scirpus validus (bulrush), Phragmites …
