Constructed wetlands have been explored for the past twenty years as a low cost low, impact environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional wastewater treatment facilities. This website is focused on constructed wetlands; thier design, construction, capacities for remediation of pathogens and toxins, macro fauna and flora, and microbial populations. There is a substantial body of peer-reviewed literature that is available, and will be cited throughout the text to support the validity of the assertions made by the author.
