ABSTRACT
In this chapter, a “vertical” approach is taken, in which particular treatment wetland applications are considered as a group. This is done because some technology growth areas are very application specific. It is not necessary to repeat the many details already presented in two key application areasmetals and hydrocarbons-because each has had an entire chapter already (Chapters 11 and 13). Likewise, the general application area of stormwater runoff has been singled out for an entire chapter (Chapter 14). There remain several applications that deserve additional attention because they present unique features that can influence design. These include wetland treatment of animal waste, food wastes, landfill leachate, and chemical industry effluents.
