摘要：

The use of constructed wetlands which mimic natural marshlands, represents an innovative approach to wastewater treatment. They make use of diverse ecological mechanisms to renovate wastewater. They are inexpensive to construct and operate with minimal energy requirements. Unlike the conventional technologies, wetlands provide low volumetric reaction rates and therefore are suitable for small-scale applications. The majority of constructed wetlands in New Zealand are used for the treatment of domestic wastewaters from small communities for secondary treatment and pathogen removal. There are over 20 constructed wetlands in New Zealand receiving wastewater flow rates ranging from 7.5m3/day to around 4500m3/day. Both surface-flow and subsurface-flow wetlands are used. The performance data from three wetland systems treating septic tank effluents are presented and their treatment efficiences are discussed.
