Surface Flow Artificial Wetland Design

Quick answer:

Surface flow artificial wetlands are engineered systems that mimic the natural wetland process. They are designed to treat stormwater runoff by using physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove pollutants. These wetlands consist of a series of cells, each filled with a permeable media that allows water to flow through while retaining solids. Design considerations include wetland size, hydrology, hydraulic loading rate, media selection, and plant species.
