Part 1.
a. Title/Topic
Natural Treatment Systems: Constructed Wetlands
1. Water Reuse
There are advantages and benefits to reusing water. It may be used for irrigation in
agriculture, parks, medians, schools, and golf courses, among other things. We know that in
order to keep golf courses in good shape, the area must be heavily watered.
Wetlands can simulate secondary wastewater treatment and backwash water from WW
Treatment plants, as well as stormwater runoff, because we can mitigate or lessen the
negative effects of flailing with the designed wetlands. It also supplies migrating birds with
Riparian Habitat.
2. Phytoremediation
Phytoremediation, which includes the use of plants to breakdown a range of pollutants such as
heavy metals, trace metals, novel transgenics, and other pollutants, is used in a recreated
wetlands' treatment system.
PART 2.
● Dry weather runoff may be treated using the Natural Treatment System, which is a cost-
effective and ecologically friendly solution.
● Wastewater reuse has been considered as an alternative way of overcoming water scarcity
in many parts of the world
● Demand for freshwater is expected to rise as resources fall in many parts of the United
States, owing in part to a changing climate.
● The application of these concepts to waste treatment not only helps to clean up the
environment, but it also helps to preserve biological populations.
● While natural treatment systems may handle a wide range of media, including industrial
wastewater and polluted soils, this research focuses on their usage to treat household
wastewater, either in conjunction with or in place of a traditional municipal wastewater
treatment system.
