Nutrient Removal from Stormwater using Australian Native Plants in Constructed Floating Wetland

(Corresponding) Nuruzzaman M., Anwar A., Sarukkalige R.
Topic: 
Water treatment
Stormwater pollution causes excessive nutrient influx to rivers and lakes, which can trigger algal bloom and subsequent damages to the freshwater ecosystem. Constructed Floating Wetland (CFW), a cost-effective technology, uses aquatic plants in a hydroponic system to strip nutrients from stormwater...Read more
