Construction of Wetland

Atul Narayan

Abstract


Constructed wetlands area unit is the artificial waste treatment system of shallow experimental tanks, ponds or channels that area unit planted with domestically on the market land plants. They work on natural capability of plants to treat waste from completely different sources of rising concern concerning pollution of water bodies to discharge of waste in them, it's necessary to initiate various thinking as standard ways through STPs (Sewage treatment Plants) have had restricted success. In recent years the applying of specially designed land based technology for treatment of wastewater—municipal, urban and agricultural, is changing into wide acceptable. The technology has been found to be terribly effective in pollution management because it functions as water ‘pollutant sinks’ for sediments, nutrients and metals. It treats the waste in natural manner while not the utilization of chemicals.
