A review on nitrogen and organics removal mechanisms in subsurface flow constructed wetlands: dependency on environmental parameters, operating conditions and supporting media.
Tanveer Saeed,Guangzhi Sun +1 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of wetland structures, classic and novel nitrogen and organics removal mechanisms along with the key environmental parameters and operational conditions that enhance removal in subsurface flow wetland systems shows the necessity of a profound knowledge on the complicated inter-relationship between nitrogen and Organics removal routes, governing environmental and operational parameters, and wetland matrix for improving the treatment performances of subsurfaced flow wetlands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment
TL;DR: The first experiments using wetland macrophytes for wastewater treatment were carried out in Germany in the early 1950s and since then, the constructed wetlands have evolved into a reliable wastewater treatment technology for various types of wastewater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnitude and biophysical regulators of methane emission and consumption in the Australian agricultural, forest, and submerged landscapes: a review.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the current level of knowledge regarding the main sources and sinks of CH4 in Australia, and identify CH4 mitigation options and their potential application in Australian ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient removal in constructed microcosm wetlands for treating polluted river water in northern China
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the nutrient removal and plant uptake in constructed microcosm wetlands vegetated with Typha orientalis, Phragmites australis, Scirpus validus and Iris pseudacorus.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the microbial quality of grey water and an evaluation of treatment technologies for reuse
Gideon P. Winward,Lisa M. Avery,Ronnie A. D. Frazer-Williams,Marc Pidou,Paul Jeffrey,Tom Stephenson,Bruce Jefferson +6 more
TL;DR: Of the three constructed wetlands, the VFRB was the most reliable performer under low and high strength influent conditions, indicating aerobic unsaturated wetland to be the most suitable form of the technology for pathogen removal.

Guidelines for water reuse.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present guidelines for those wishing to plan develop revise expand or manage water reclamation and reuse facilities, focusing on reclamation of nonpotable urban industrial and agricultural reuse about which little controversy exists.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drinking water disinfection byproducts: review and approach to toxicity evaluation.
TL;DR: The approach developed by these agencies to provide the information needed to make scientifically based regulatory decisions is described and a toxicity database that reflects a wide range of DBPs resulting from different disinfection practices is created.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plants as ecosystem engineers in subsurface-flow treatment wetlands
TL;DR: Roles of plants as ecosystem engineers are summarised, with organic matter production and root-zone oxygen release identified as key factors influencing nutrient transformation and sequestration.
