About this title

Synopsis

For about 40 years wetlands have been constructed to replicate the complex biological systems of natural wetlands. In the last decade, however, interest in this technology has boomed, and several thousand constructed wetlands are in use around the world. Much progress has also been made in understanding and optimizing the mechanisms by which wetlands can ameliorate pollution. Nevertheless further research is necessary and differing views are held on the best applications of wetlands. Hence, 215 delegates from 47 countries assembled in Vienna to share their expertize and experiences, to bring answers to the different questions and to coordinate further research programmes. These proceedings present 43 papers covering research into fundamental biological and physicochemical processes, engineering design and system performance, ecological aspects, and case studies.
