Constructed wetlands for water reclamation
Diederik P.L. Rousseau,Diederik P.L. Rousseau,Els Lesage,Anke Story,Peter A. Vanrolleghem,Peter A. Vanrolleghem,N. De Pauw +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors give an overview of treatment performances and consequent reuse possibilities, operation and maintenance requirements, costs and constraints interfering with the application of this technology, as well as the ancillary benefits such as wildlife habitat function, recreational facilities etc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment in tropical and subtropical regions (2000-2013).
TL;DR: The present review highlights the practice, applications, and research of treatment wetlands under tropical and subtropical conditions since 2000 and shows removal of biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended solid was shown to be very efficient and consistent across all types of Treatment wetlands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogen removal from treated municipal effluent in small-scale constructed wetland with different depth.
TL;DR: Evaluated vertical-flow wetland as polishing step of conventional wastewater treatment in the removal of estrogens and the effect of sand depth suggested that maintaining sufficient aerobic circumstance in constructed wetlands was important for estrogens removal, and the performance of wetlands when operating in unsaturated condition was superior to that when Operating in water-saturated condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water quality improvement in a full-scale tertiary constructed wetland: effects on conventional and specific organic contaminants.
TL;DR: The surface flow constructed wetland in Can Cabanyes (Granollers, Catalonia, northeastern Spain) was created as a part of a series of activities aimed at restoring a highly impacted fluvial peri-urban zone and showed a good reliability for ammonium and faecal bacteria removal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water Scarcity and Wastewater Reuse Standards in Southern Europe: Focus on Agriculture
TL;DR: In the south of Europe, four countries out of 15 have already adopted wastewater reuse regulations (Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain) and compared these regulations and discusses their differences as discussed by the authors.

Identification of Estrogenic Chemicals in STW Effluent. 2. In Vivo Responses in Trout and Roach
TL;DR: The occurrence of certain natural and synthetic steroidal estrogens in the final effluent from STW has been demonstrated and the response of adult male and female roach following exposure to 17β-estradiol was compared to the response to the alkylphenolic xenoestrogen.
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.

Wastewater Treatment in Constructed Wetlands: System Design, Removal Processes, and Treatment Performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the possibility of achieving better treatment performance in improved designs of macrophyte-based wastewater treatment systems is discussed, and the applicability of the different macro-phyte based wastewater treatment system depends on climatic conditions, effluent quality required, wastewater characteristics, availability and price of land, conservation regulations, etc.
