ABSTRACT

Wetland treatment system establishment can be subdivided into three topics: (1) physical design, (2) construction, and (3) vegetation establishment. Physical design encompasses all the choices of how the wetland basin is built, and how the water is conveyed to and through the system. With the exception of urban stormwater wetlands (Schueler, 1992), there is no single comprehensive literature source that explains options for layout and configuration of the wetland cells that typically comprise a treatment wetland.
