Abstract
Constructed Wetlands can cost-effectively
improve the water quality of the effluent of domestic
wastewater treatment plants to a point that ensures
compliance with discharge limits and facilitates reuse
of the effluent. This paper describes a project that will
demonstrate that effectiveness on a cost and treatment
basis. The target effluent parameters are ammonia and
total phosphorus in the summer months (March through
October) with a monthly average of 2.0mg/l and weekly
average of 3.0mg/l.
