Artificial or Constructed Wetlands

As plants and microorganisms are a fundamental part of the correct functioning of these systems, their contribution to the degradation of the organic matter and to the removal and transformation of the pollutant compounds present in the wastewaters, including those of emerging concern, is a highlight of this book.
