Assessment of the Effciency of Using the Immersed Wetland for Purification of Waters of Small Rivers

Abstract

Presented is the first developed complex bioengineering facility, which incorporates a natural waterside and artificial immersed wetlands. The action of the facility is directed at water detoxication and bottom sediments using small rivers as an example at the sake of plants of hydrophytes and gidatophytes. Presented are results of introducing the given technology in one of small watercourses of Kyiv. It is shown that realization of the proposed biotechnology ensures a positive water protection effect because in the site of facility location water quality is improved, its self purification capacity is raised and toxicity decreases.
