It has long been recognised that reed beds (constructed wetlands) play an important role in the reduction and transformation of contaminants in water. This in-depth volume explores how this natural capability can be harnessed to carry out some of the work traditionally carried out by a wastewater treatment plant. The contributors to this book offer a thorough assessment of the extent to which wetlands can perform this function for both domestic sewage and some other wastes such as urban run-off and acid mine waters.

  • Treatment of wastewater
  • Natural designs of wastewater treatment
  • Water conservation and groundwater protection
  • Waste and potable water issues
  • Treatment of agricultural Waste and run-off, hazardous Waste and run-off, domestic and industrial wastewater, acide mine and landfill leachate.
