Description	A wide variety of wastewaters have been treated with wetland systems. To at least some degree, most have been successful. Further advance of this technology must be based on a coordinated set of design principles. First among these is understanding wetland hydrodynamics and its influences on data acquisition and design. Three features of water movement in these systems distinguish them from conventional concrete-and-steel wastewater treatment facilities. First, because of large surface area together with outdoor location, wetland systems interact strongly with the atmosphere via rainfall and evapotranspiration. Second, because of high vegetation density, plants influence water movement, both overland flow and evapotranspiration. Finally, because contact times are long with respect to the time scales of rainfall and microbial dynamics but short with respect to seasonal processes, the operation of these systems may not be viewed as a steady-state process.
