Treatment Wetland Processes, Design, and Implementation

This book presents the latest advances in constructed wetlands including new reactor designs, and a broad range of treatment applications. It focuses on subsurface flow wetlands, including horizontal, vertical, and intensified wetland configurations, as well as mechanical aeration, fill-and-drain modes of operation, and reactive media techniques.

Treatment Wetland Processes, Design, and Implementation presents a state-of-the-art coverage of wetlands applied to the treatment of municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, combined sewer overflows, sludge and other sources. It builds upon the highly acclaimed previous editions of Treatment Wetlands, but includes a wealth of new information, data, concepts and approaches that are in syntony with the new developments in the field. Focusing on subsurface flow wetlands, the text has been thoroughly revised, fully updated and expanded, including a new and detailed coverage of important treatment wetland variants, such as horizontal flow, vertical flow, French vertical flow, aerated, fill-and-drain, combined sewer overflow and sludge treatment wetlands. Treatment Wetland Processes, Design, and Implementation contains a carefully planned balance between theory and practice, with a clear and didactic presentation of the main concepts, working principles, expected performance, design criteria, construction aspects, and operational guidelines of treatment wetlands with a worldwide perspective on application. The book is an essential source for novice and experienced professionals, researchers, teachers, and students across the globe.
