Constructed wetland
A constructed wetland is a man-made area designed to mimic natural wetlands for water treatment. It uses plants, soil, and microorganisms to filter pollutants from water, such as nutrients and contaminants. The water flows through these wetlands, allowing the natural processes of absorption and decomposition to purify it. Constructed wetlands are often used to manage stormwater runoff, treat wastewater, and improve water quality in rivers and lakes. They provide ecological benefits, supporting wildlife and enhancing biodiversity while also serving as effective, sustainable solutions for water management.
