engineered wetlands

Engineered wetlands are specially designed systems that mimic natural wetlands to treat wastewater or storm runoff. They use plants, soil, and microorganisms to remove pollutants, nutrients, and toxins from water naturally. These systems are constructed with careful planning to optimize water flow and plant growth, making them effective and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional treatment methods. Engineered wetlands help improve water quality, support biodiversity, and provide aesthetic and habitat value, all while utilizing sustainable processes that work with nature rather than against it.
