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...
