Artificial wetlands: a device for restoring natural wetland values
1993In The Netherlands, many oligotrophic and mesotrophic surface waters have been eutrophied. Eutrophication of rivers, streams and lakes is also a major problem in other West European countries (Melzer, 1976; Whitton, 1984; Hoffmann, 1985). The influx of phosphorus into Dutch inland waters can be attributed to three main sources.

Remediation of mercury-polluted soils using artificial wetlands
International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2016Mexico's mercury mining industry is important for economic development, but has unfortunately contaminated soils due to open-air disposal. This case was seen at two sites in the municipality of Pinal de Amoles, State of Queretaro, Mexico. This paper presents an evaluation of mercury dynamics and biogeochemistry in two soils (mining waste soil) using ex-

Evaluation of detergent removal in artificial wetlands (biofilters)
Ecological Engineering, 2018Abstract A prototype artificial wetland was designed to treat greywaters from the community of El Carrizo in Durango, Mexico, to remove the surfactants derived from used detergents. For this study, 6″ PVC tubes with a water depth of 40 cm were used, in which the water was replaced after 3, 8 and 15 days.

Artificial intelligence based approaches to evaluate actual evapotranspiration in wetlands
Science of The Total Environment, 2020Wetlands are extraordinary ecosystems and important climate regulators that also contribute to reduce natural disaster risk. Unfortunately, wetlands are declining much faster than forests. The safeguarding of the wetlands also needs knowledge of the dynamics that control the water balance of these environments.

Nutrient Removal in Wetlands During Intermittent Artificial Aeration
Environmental Engineering Science, 2008In a pilot-scale study, the contribution of intermittent artificial aeration to nitrogen and phosphorus removal in three (i.e., aeration in the middle of the substrate, aeration at the bottom of the substrate, nonaerated substrate) subsurface vertical-flow constructed wetlands planted with Typha latifolia L.

Methane fluxes from artificial wetlands: A global appraisal
Environmental Management, 1995Methane emissions make an important contribution to the enhanced greenhouse effect, emissions from rice growing being one of its major anthropogenic sources. The estimation of global fluxes of methane from rice and from coarse fiber production depends on extrapolating observed data across countries and agroclimatic zones: the estimates are therefore ...

Artificial sediments for use in tests with wetland plants
Environmental and Experimental Botany, 1990Abstract Artificial sediments are described for use in studies on rooted marsh plants. The sediments, which are similar in particle size distribution to natural sediments, are formulated from commercially available sand, silt, clay and organic matter. Average survival rates of seedlings of Echinochloa crusgalli var.

Xochimilco, Mexico, a Natural Wetland or an Artificial One?
2018In Mexico, most of the climates of the planet are represented, largely due to its complex topography and geographical position as an area of confluence and boundary of neartica and neotropical bioregions. Historically, Mexico Basin was made up of five large lakes were interconnected: Chalco, Texcoco, Xaltocan, Xochimilco, and Zumpango, which covered an
