Wetlands for Tropical Applications: Wastewater Treatment by Constructed Wetlands

Norio Tanaka, W.J. Ng , K.B.S.N. Jinadasa, "Wetlands for Tropical Applications: Wastewater Treatment by Constructed Wetlands"
2011 | ISBN-10: 1858059089 | 164 pages | PDF | 2 MB

This book provides a systematic exposition of the design features of constructed wetlands, and their management (in terms of siting, physical maintenance, and operation). Only very few books (or chapters) have been published on constructed wetlands in tropical conditions and none are current. The selection of plant species, managing their growth and harvesting cycles, and the impact these have on the attenuation of organic and inorganic pollutants, nutrients, and pathogens would be of interest to students and practitioners of the art working under tropical conditions. The potential of constructed wetlands as a low-cost intervention for developing countries in tropical regions that faced water pollution problems, in particular, deserves to be explored systematically.
