Statistically-Based Comparison of the Removal Efficiencies and Resilience Capacities between Conventional and Natural Wastewater Treatment Systems: A Peak Load Scenario [PDF]
Emerging global threats, such as climate change, urbanization and water depletion, are driving forces for finding a feasible substitute for low cost-effective conventional activated sludge (AS) technology. On the other hand, given their low cost and easy

Artificial wetlands performance: nitrogen removal
Artificial wetlands (AW) are a promising option for wastewater treatment in small communities due to their high performance in nutrients removal and low operation and maintenance costs. Nitrogen can favour the growth of algae in water bodies causing eutrophication when present at high concentrations. Nitrogen can be removed through different mechanisms

Fish diversity in artificial and natural wetlands in the Sinos River floodplain, Southern Brazil [PDF]
Wetlands play a key role in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services preservation, but they are threatened by pollution and conversion into agricultural and urban areas. Artificial wetlands can mitigate these impacts.

Integrating Artificial Urban Wetlands Into Communities: A Pathway to Carbon Zero?
In their natural state, wetland ecosystems provide an optimum natural environment for the sequestration and long-term storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. The loss of wetlands under advancing urbanization not only diminishes this capacity

Macrophytes in Artificial Wetland
The role and problem of macrophyte in artificial wetland for wastewater treatment are summarized and some research interests are proposed in this paper. Macrophyte plays three important roles in artificial wetland. 1) Uptake the nutrients, adsorb and accumulate heavy metal and poisonous substances from wastewater.

Ecological modelling of a wetland for phytoremediating Cu, Zn and Mn in a gold–copper mine site using Typha domingensis (Poales: Typhaceae) near Orange, NSW, Australia [PDF]
: An artificial wetland was computationally modelled using STELLA®, a graphical programming tool for an Au–Cu mine site in Central-west NSW, the aim of which was to offer a predictive analysis of a proposed wetland for Cu, Zn and Mn removal ...
