CONCLUSIONS In the experimental pots replicating VF constructed wetlands, a variety of forage rice (" Kusahonami ") was cultivated using river water under various supply rates (0.1, 0.2, and 0.6 m 3 /(m 2 ·day)) for 169 days. As a result, the growth of the rice increased with the[r]
can be an important water loss on a periodic basis. Wetland water storage is determined by the inflows and outflows together with the characteristics of the wetland basin. Depth and storage in natural wetlands are likely to be modulated by landscape features, such as the depth of a[r]
Soil organic matter (OM) is the organic fraction of soil, including wastewater pollutants, plant roots, animal and plant residues, and microbial biomass. OM influences the chemical and physical properties of soils even at the relatively low amount usually found in soils. The macrophyte plants tr[r]
The performance of a vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland (VSSFCW) for sewage effluent treatment was studied in an eight month experiment under different operational conditions including: vegetation (the presence or absence of common reeds ‘‘Phragmites australis”), media type (gravel or verm[r]

In order to promote the application of constructed wetland technology for wastewater treatment and for preventing the Lake Dianchi Valley of China from further eutrophication, field studies was carried out, which included the small-scale, pilot-scale experiments, and finally demonstr[r]

Effluent discharges from municipal, industrial, and agricultural activities constitute major sources of pollution on land and water bodies. During the 1990s, large -scale application of Constructed Wetlands (CWs) as a remediation option drew much attention globally from the public and green groups a[r]
(Gillespie et al., 2000; Mays and Edwards, 2001). There have been few studies on the removal of heavy metals from wastewaters containing low concentrations of these metals, such as domestic wastewater, by constructed wetland systems. Wastewater from a dormitory at the Koibuchi[r]
Deep zones in surface flow constructed wetlands are sup- posed to serve several purposes (Knight and Iverson, 1990). These deeper areas extend below the bottom of the vegetated basin areas by at least 1 m to exclude the development of rooted macrophytes (Figures 18.9 and 18.10 ).[r]

Before use, the cabinet should already be empty and clean from prior activity. The view window should be lowered to the proper operating height (normally 8 in.) or as specified by the cabinet manufacturer. UV light is effective only for decontaminating clean, solid surfaces with which it comes in[r]
