From Book News, Inc.
The focus is on the use of wetlands for transformation and removal of pollutants created by human activity. In the introductory chapter the authors assert that wetlands can be one of the least expensive and most effective treatment systems to operate and maintain; the natural environmental energies at work preclude the necessity of using fossil fuels or chemicals. The detailed coverage includes wetland structure and function; the effects of wetlands on water quality; project planning and design; wetland treatment system establishment, operation, and maintenance; and case histories.

Book Description
This outstanding new book examines the planning, design, construction, and operation of wetlands used for water quality treatment. Treatment Wetlands is the first comprehensive book to systematically describe all aspects of this new technology. Topics include all major wetland configurations, wastewater sources, and combinations of climatic conditions.This complete reference contains detailed information on wetland ecology, wetland water quality, selection of appropriate technology, design for consistent performance, construction guidance, and operational control through effective monitoring. Design approaches that can be tailored to specific wetland treatment projects are also included. Rule-of-thumb methods, regression-based empirical design approaches, and rational methods are explained facilitating wetland design based on multi-parameter input conditions.
Book Info
