Enhancing water reuse at a local scale: a constructed wetland case study
Magalhães, J.; Dolbeth, M.; Arenas, F.; Pereira, S.; Tsiamis, G.; Ntougias, S.; Calheiros, C.Constructed Wetlands (CW), as biological treatment systems, mimic the phytoremediation processes found in natural wetlands in an optimized configuration for the improvement of the water quality. They are considered nature-based solutions (NBS) that may support decentralized wastewater treatment providing several ecosystem services, including enhancing water availability and reducing water-related risks. The pre...
Enhancing water reuse at a local scale: a constructed wetland case study
Magalhães, J.; Dolbeth, M.; Arenas, F.; Pereira, S. I. A.; Tsiamis, G.; Ntougias, S.; Calheiros, C.What are Constructed Wetlands? Constructed wetlands (CW) are engineered systems that are inspired by and mimicking processes (physical, biological, and chemical) and functions that occur in natural wetlands. Comprised of several components, impermeabilization liners and substrate, and as the key elements the plants and their associated microorganisms. They were thought primarily for wastewater treatment but now...
Phytotechnology implementation in marine and freshwater environments: case stud...
Octaviano, Ana L.; Nawaz, N.; Pereira, S.; IIarri, M.; Magalhães, J.; Calheiros, C.Phytotechnologies are plant-based approaches that solve or complement the solution of environmental problems, by remediating soil, water, and air or restoring ecosystem services in managed landscapes. Floating treatment wetlands (FWIs) are examples of a phytotechnology, also named nature-based solution, that provides water treatment and management with low capital costs, high success rate, low maintenance requi...

Octaviano, A. L.; Nawaz, N.; Magalhães, J.; Pereira, S.; IIarri, M.; Gomes, C. R.; Imbernon, R.; Calheiros, C.Environmental biotechnology, such as bioremediation and phytoremediation, is a promising field that uses natural resources, including microorganisms and plants, to eliminate toxic organic contaminants from water, soils and air (Calheiros et al. 2020). This technology offers an attractive alternative to other conventional remediation processes due to its relatively low cost and environmentally friendly method. I...
