Types of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment

Constructed wetlands have been used for wastewater treatment since the 1960’s. The first installations were put in operation in Germany; however, at present this technology is used across the globe. Constructed wetlands can be classified according to a) presence or absence of water on the surface (surface and subsurface flow), b) flow direction (horizontal, vertical) and c) according to the type of vegetation used. Constructed wetlands can be used to treat municipal, industrial and agricultural wastewaters, as well as for treatment of storm water runoff from urban areas, agriculture, roads and highways, golf courses, nurseries and for landfill leachate and mine drainage.
