This book provides a systematic exposition of the design features of constructed wetlands and their management (in terms of siting, physical maintenance, and operation). Only very few books (or chapters) have been published on constructed wetlands in tropical conditions and none are current. The selection of plant species, managing their growth and harvesting cycles, and the impact these have on the attenuation of organic and inorganic pollutants, nutrients, and pathogens would be of interest to students and practitioners of the art working under tropical conditions. The potential of constructed wetlands as a low-cost intervention for developing countries in tropical regions that faced water pollution problems, in particular, deserves to be explored systematically.

This dissertation by Karin Johannesson critically examines the accumulation and retention of particulate phosphorus in constructed wetlands receiving agricultural runoff in Sweden. It investigates the variability in phosphorus retention estimates and identifies key factors such as soil type, slope, and animal density that influence these processes. The study also evaluates the impact of resuspension and water sampling methods on phosphorus transport calculations. The research aims to improve the effectiveness of constructed wetlands as a mitigation strategy for reducing phosphorus loads from agricultural land, contributing to better environmental management practices.
