Single artificial wetland successfully treats different types of wastewater

Younger, P.L. and Henderson, R. (2014) Single artificial wetland successfully treats different types of wastewater. Science for Environment Policy, 375,

Abstract

The world's first full-scale artificial wetland designed to treat both sewage effluent and mine wastewater has been found to continuously remove high levels of pollutants, a recent study concludes. Treating both types of wastewater at the same time proved to be highly beneficial because they contain pollutants which are more easily removed when mixed together.
