    Constructed wetlands are a natural way to treat various types of wastewater through filtration and microorganisms. They mimic natural environments without mechanical parts. Constructed wetlands can be designed as horizontal or vertical subsurface or surface flow systems and combinations. They have low operational costs but require more space. Constructed wetlands can treat wastewater from single households to small towns either on or off the grid. Combining them with pretreatment balances space and operational needs. Constructed wetlands have been an established treatment solution for over 50 years with official standards.
