Artificial wetlands and water quality improvement
Environment International, 2001 This paper illustrates the role of plants to assist the treatment of water pollution in man-made wetlands in tropical and temperate climates. It also considers the potential for environmental education of these wetland systems. The management and natural treatment of pollution is described in the Mai Po Marshes, Hong Kong and a wetland in London which ...

Integrating Artificial Urban Wetlands Into Communities: A Pathway to Carbon Zero?
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021 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

Artificial wetlands performance: nitrogen removal
Water Science and Technology, 2008 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

Macrophytes in Artificial Wetland
Journal of Lake Sciences, 2002 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.
