| Description | “Black box” (i.e., input-output) studies in natural wetlands receiving wastewaters have demonstrated that wetlands can be very effective in the short term at reducing suspended solids and nutrient concentrations in wastewater; but that over the long term, some of those functions can break down and the wetland can become a source of contaminants as it releases stored materials. In order to understand why, we need to break out of the black box of input-output studies and delve into the physical and biological mechanisms by which wetlands interact with materials in surface water. We need this understanding in order to design constructed wetlands that will serve a desired function over a long lifespan. Book Name: Constructed Wetlands for Water Quality Improvement |
