Treatment of Storm Water from Agricultural Catchment in Pilot Scale Constructed Wetland

Constructed wetlands as a treatment system are widely explored in different climate conditions and established to be effective in pollution removal from water environment. This study aims to demonstrate the performance of pilot-scale subsurface flow constructed wetland for storm water treatment in L...

description Constructed wetlands as a treatment system are widely explored in different climate conditions and established to be effective in pollution removal from water environment. This study aims to demonstrate the performance of pilot-scale subsurface flow constructed wetland for storm water treatment in Latvia.

Storm water was accumulated in an open pond and periodically pumped above the filter part of the subsurface flow constructed wetland.
