Description
The use of wetland systems to control water pollution is an outstanding example of the development of ecotechnology, as it may be termed. Wetland systems, whether natural or constructed, constitute an interface between the aquatic system that is at risk of being polluted and the terrestrial system that is the source of the pollutant substances, as well as a cost-effective alternative to more conventional engineered systems to treat potential polluting substances. They are also part of the natural hydrological cycle and provide a ready means of making treated wastewaters available for reuse. Both developing and industrialised countries are finding economical and ecologically acceptable solutions to pollution management through the application of wetland technology. The 41 papers published in this volume cover the topics of the basic principles of wetland treatment, engineering design and hydraulics, the wetland plants themselves, the treatment of urban and agricultural runoff, municipal effluents, and mining and industrial effluents, and systems management and performance studies, together with a number of case studies.
Collectively they constitute an authoritative survey of the potential and the reality of wetland systems in water pollution control.
