Using Constructed Wetlands to Clean Wastewater from Various Sources
Biological wastewater treatment systems have been used for many years. Constructed wetlands are one such system. Constructed wetlands are a modern bio-engineered system which can remove many forms of pollutants from wastewater from various sources. Thanks to the varied forms and configurations of such systems, they harmoniously blend in to existing landscapes and do not disturb elements of harmony in the environment. The goal of this work is to review existing publications and research into the use of constructed wetlands in various regions to remove a wide range of pollutants from wastewater. It was determined that constructed wetlands are effective in treating urban surface runoff, industrial wastewater, and agricultural wastewater. Wetlands can effectively remove many pollutants: heavy metals (iron, copper, nickel, zinc, boron), biological contaminants, food industry waste, glycol, hydrocarbons, mineral nitrogen compounds, chlorine, radionuclides, and more. Constructed wetlands can serve as an inexpensive and easy-to-maintain solution for wastewater treatment which does not require the use of chemical or energy-intensive processes, can ensure the output of wastewater of the required quality while performing decorative and aesthetic functions, and improve the microclimate and condition of recreational areas and parks.
