Multilayer Substrate Configuration Enhances Removal Efficiency of Pollutants in Constructed Wetlands

Multilayer Substrate Configuration Enhances Removal Efficiency of Pollutants in Constructed Wetlands

This study aimed at optimizing horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (CWs) to improve hydraulic performance and pollutant removal efficiency. A groundwater modeling package (MODFLOW) was used to optimize three design parameters (length-to-width ratio, inlet/outlet-to-length ratio, and subs...
