Title | Constructed wetlands for flood prevention and water reuse |
Authors | Shutes, B., Revitt, D. and Lundy, L. |
Abstract | This paper reviews the contribution that constructed wetlands can make to Integrated Urban Water Management by increasing stormwater storage and infiltration volumes and reducing the volumes of stormwater discharged to the sewer system and to wastewater treatment systems. Examples are given of constructed wetlands as stand-alone systems or as a component of a treatment train of Best Management Practice (BMP) drainage systems in cities in Europe, Australia, Asia and the United States. The criteria for selecting constructed wetlands for retrofitting drainage systems and the influence of the level of maintenance on their whole-life cost are considered. |
