Rainfall and Temporal Influences on the Hydrodynamics of a Vertical Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Domestic Sewage. [PDF]

Water Environ Res
The constructed wetland hydrodynamic study indicated the formation of preferential flow paths between Years 3 and 5. Rainfall reduced the retention time and increased dispersive flow in the sewage treatment unit. ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the hydrodynamic behavior of a vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland (VSSF‐CW) treating domestic

A mesocosm study on the use of clay minerals to improve heavy metal phytoremediation capacity of vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides L. Roberty)

South African Journal of Science, 2023
Fast-paced global industrialisation due to population growth poses negative environmental implications, such as pollution by heavy metals. We assessed the application of vetiver grass assisted by clay minerals for the remediation of soil and water ...

Do native grasses emerge and establish in areas rehabilitated using vetiver grass?

African Journal of Range & Forage Science, 2022
Species-rich grasslands provide important ecosystem services, and in South Africa, approximately 40% of these grasslands are degraded. Vetiver grass (from India) is often used during rehabilitation efforts to restore soil function without a thorough understanding of the potential negative ecological impacts.

Farmers’ awareness of the potential of vetiver grass for soil erosion control on Ogbomoso Agricultural Zone farmlands, south-western Nigeria

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2021
Background Soil degradation remains a serious threat to agricultural production. With increase downpour due to climate change effect, more farmlands are exposed to erosion. Therefore, ecologically sound strategies for erosion control are indispensable to

Combined effect of humic acid and vetiver grass on remediation of cadmium-polluted water

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Effective treatment of water pollution is an economic and social requirement globally. Humic acid (HA) is a popular mitigator for such waters. However, the combined effect of HA and restorative plants on cadmium (Cd) remediation is not well understood ...

Performance of Vetiver Grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) for Phytoremediation of Contaminated Water

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
In tolerance towards metal uptake, there is a need to evaluate the performance of vetiver grass for metal removal to reduce water impurity. This study was aimed to evaluate contaminant removal by vetiver grass at varying root length and plant density and
