Abstract

This chapter discusses the use of natural and constructed wetlands for treatment of wastewaters. Mechanisms of treatment processes for wetlands were described. Function, roles, types, and selection of wetland plants were discussed. The chapter also covers design, monitoring, and maintenance of wetland treatment systems for wastewater. Case studies in the United States, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom were discussed. Pollution control and water reuse for watershed protection and environmental conservation are emphasized.
