Vertical flow constructed wetlands for wastewater and sludge treatment represent a relatively new and still growing technology. Vertical Flow Constructed Wetlands is the first book to present the state-of-the-art knowledge regarding vertical flow constructed wetlands theory and applications. In this book, you will learn about vertical flow systems with information about application and performance. Vertical Flow Constructed Wetlands also includes information on how different countries are applying the technology, with design guidelines to illustrate best practices worldwide. A focus on water conservation through reuse of treated water showcases the benefit of vertical flow construction, which has greatly increased the attractiveness of the technology in recent years. - All state-of-the-art knowledge regarding vertical flow constructed wetlands gathered in one book - A review of various constructed wetland approaches, including information about applications and performance, helps clarify what is currently known about constructed wetland principles and design - Discussion of how to manage the treated wastewater leaving the vertical flow for increasing biodiversity, providing food and habitat for birds, and producing harvestable biomass or crops - Includes case studies of constructed wetlands in developing countries

Our book addresses the needs of practitioners, engineers, scientists, regulators, resource managers, planners, and others with a need to know about septic systems. It arose after discussions about the need for a text that integrated current understanding of the hydrologic, physical, chemical, and biological processes involved in the treatment of wastewater using soil. In our experience, people working with septic systems – ourselves included – have a fragmented understanding of what these systems are, how they function, how wastewater moves through soil, how and which pollutants are removed, and how these systems impact the environment and public health. The relevant information is scattered across disciplines, information sources and audiences. This book is an attempt to collect and integrate this information in one place, and provide a scientific framework for understanding soil-based wastewater treatment.

These materials, prepared for the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Technology Transfer Program, were used in presenting Technology Transfer design seminars throughout the United States. When faced with decisions on wastewater treatment system upgrading or replacement, many small communities and rural areas run into financial difficulties. This trio of documents presents the results of research into this problem, which examines various strategies and systems, and their associated costs, in order to arm utilities managers in such communities with information vital to making informed, responsible decisions regarding wastewater treatment.
