ENH1088: Remediation of Runoff: Options for Container Plant Nurseries
Fig. 2A&B. Diagram of a surface vertical-flow wetland (A). Water flows, driven by gravity, through an in-ground sealed pit planted with wetland macrophytes. A series of three images (B) show the inflow pipe (left), surface (center), and the outflow pipe delivering water to another treatment cell (right) of a wetland constructed at a container plant nursery. Wetland macrophytes were planted in the basin, the base of which was layered with bark chips to assist in planting and for providing a carbon source for microbial activity. The water surface is typically covered with Lemna and Wolffia spp. in this system. Illustration and Images: Jyotsna Sharma.
