Constructed Wetland
The construction or expansion of existing
wetlands can be used to
purify runoff waters from sewage lagoons or feedlot situations.
Runoff waters are directed into constructed wetland cells where
vegetation and micro-organisms can filter and break-down contaminates
such as nitrogen, phosphorus and threatening bacteria. The
purpose of this is to reduce the amount of contaminates that may reach surface water, which will help to protect the water quality for
the downstream users.
