Ensuring wastewater management and a safe drinking water supply is crucial for any nation’s social infrastructure. Limited investment in rural wastewater treatment in underdeveloped nations like India is attributed to challenges in centralized strategies due to insufficient funding and ineffective management. Constructed wetlands (CWs) offer cost-effective solutions by replicating natural wetland characteristics. A 12-month study in Mandya, Karnataka, operated one horizontal and one vertical pilot scale units with Phragmites australis and Typha latifolia, evaluating removal efficiencies for carbonaceous organic matter, nitrogenous, and phosphorus compounds. Factors influencing removal include influent biodegradability, C/N ratio, and aeration presence. The study recommends disinfection before reuse in waste management infrastructure, addressing water safety concerns.

摘要

Ensuring wastewater management and a safe drinking water supply is crucial for any nation’s social infrastructure. Limited investment in rural wastewater treatment in underdeveloped nations like India is attributed to challenges in centralized strategies due to insufficient funding and ineffective management. Constructed wetlands (CWs) offer cost-effective solutions by replicating natural wetland characteristics. A 12-month study in Mandya, Karnataka, operated one horizontal and one vertical pilot scale units with Phragmites australis and Typha latifolia, evaluating removal efficiencies for carbonaceous organic matter, nitrogenous, and phosphorus compounds. Factors influencing removal include influent biodegradability, C/N ratio, and aeration presence. The study recommends disinfection before reuse in waste management infrastructure, addressing water safety concerns.
