Abstract
This article presents an update on the research and practical demonstration of wetland treatment technologies for wastewater treatment. Applications of wetlands in wastewater treatment (as an advanced treatment unit or a decentralized system) and stormwater management or treatment for nutrient and pollutant removal (metals, industrial and emerging pollutants including pharmaceutical compounds and pathogens) are highlighted. A summary of studies involving the effects of vegetation, wetland design and operation, and configurations for efficient treatment of various municipal and industrial wastewaters is also included. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Provides an update on current research and development of wetland technologies for wastewater treatment. Effects of vegetation, pathogens removal, heavy metals and emerging pollutants removal are included. Wetland design and operation is a key factor to improve water quality of wetland effluent.
