A groundbreaking book on the application of the economic and
environmentally effective treatment of industrial wastewater
Constructed Wetlands for Industrial Wastewater Treatment contains a
review of the state-of-the-art applications of constructed wetland
technology for industrial wastewater treatment. This green technology
offers many economic, environmental, and societal advantages. The text
examines the many unique uses and the effectiveness of constructed
wetlands for the treatment of complex and heavily polluted wastewater
from various industrial sources.
The editor -- a noted expert in the field -- and the international
author team (93 authors from 22 countries) present vivid examples of the
current state of constructed wetlands in the industrial sector. The text
