Investigation of the Factors Affecting the Treatment Performance of a Stormwater Horizontal Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Road and Parking Lot Runoff
This study assessed the factors affecting the growth and survival of microorganisms in a small horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (HSSF CW) treating stormwater runoff from highly impervious road and parking lot through long-term monitoring from 2010 until present. The HSSF CW facility consisted of sedimentation or pre-treatment zone, vegetation zone, and effluent zone, and employed filter media including bio-ceramics, sand, gravel, and wood chips. Results showed that flow reduction in the wetland through filtration and sedimentation played an important part in the overall performance of the HSSF CW. In addition, vegetation growth was found to be affected by pollutant and stormwater inflow in the HSSF CW. Vegetation near the outflow port exhibited greater growth rates by about 6.5% to 64.2% compared to the vegetation near the inflow port due to the less stormwater pollutant concentrations via filtration mechanism in the plant or media zone of the HSSF CW. The pollutant inflow from road and parking lot played an important role in providing good environment for microbial growth especially for the dominant microbial phyla including Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria in the HSSF CW. The findings of this research are useful in understanding treatment mechanisms and identifying appropriate design considerations for HSSF CW.
