Moldova's milestone for constructed wetland treatment

摘要

After the first year of operation, one of the largest constructed wetlands in the world has clearly demonstrated its advantages at a scale relevant to small and medium-sized towns, with excellent treatment levels obtained and with significantly reduced operational costs compared with conventional treatment processes. Substantial input was required from all parties to make this ground-breaking project a success, particularly in light of the very limited local experience with this technology, but it is now expected that this will become a model for the wider acceptance and application of CWs for other similar situations.
