The
constructed wetlands treatment systems is an engineered system utilize the natural processes involving wetland vegetation, soils, and their associated system for treatment of waste water.
Similar to natural wetlands,
constructed wetlands also act as a bio-filter and can remove a range of pollutants such as organic matter, nutrients and heavy metals from the water.
The pollutant removal efficiencies in
constructed wetlands change considerably from system to system and within the same system.

constructed wetlands. Water Science and Tech., 29(4): 71-78.
Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Soil and Water in
Constructed Wetlands. The results of soil and water basic properties were listed in Table 1.
The high efficiency of
constructed wetlands for removing organic matter and some nutrients such as N, P and K has been confirmed (Saeed & Sun, 2011; Avila et al., 2013).
Constructed wetlands are primarily created for stormwater pollutant removal, to improve landscape amenity and to ensure the availability of water for re-use.
Microbial consortium identification in
constructed wetlands of horizontal subsurface flow fed with industrial wastewater colored
This study remediated contaminated storm-water runoff from a bio-oil conversion facility through a simulated
constructed wetland. A six-phase series of
constructed wetlands was contaminated with varying dilution levels of bio-oil process water.
Restoring degraded natural wetlands, or establishing indigenous vegetation in
constructed wetlands, provides an opportunity to increase the habitat available for a wide variety of plants and animals that have become rare because of habitat loss.
