Natural treatment technology for cleaning wastewater

Abstract

Natural treatment technology for cleaning wastewater Wetlands for wastewater treatment are considerably less costly than mechanical treatment systems and have lower running costs. They can be used for a wide variety of applications, including: • Domestic sewage treatment • Agricultural washings, wastewaters and field runoff buffers • Industrial effluents and yard runoff filtration • Group housing and municipal sewage schemes and sludge disposal • Landfill runoff and other long-term low maintenance situations • Urban and road storm-water runoff, for both flow buffering and water filtration • Mine tailings and metal reclamation • Stream, river and lake restoration • Recreational and amenity applications • Flood control and habitat enhancement.
