English Abstract

Constructed wetland relies on the removal or degradation of contaminants as water moves through the media, using physical, chemical and biological processes for water treatment.

However, the performances of these systems depend on the site characteristics, sources water quality and the process conditions applied.

Therefore, this study focused on analyzing the potential of constructed wetland for removal of organic matter, nutrients and pathogens from pre-treated water.

Horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (HSSFCWs) are being used worldwide to treat wastewater from a variety of sources.

An extensive literature review was conducted to update the current state of scientific knowledge on the performance of constructed wetlands for domestic wastewater treatment.

This study were carried out on horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands in Qarawit Bani-Zeid village.

Nine perforated pipes were placed in constructed wetland to take samples every two weeks over the study period (7months).

Three pipes were placed after 1.5 m from the inlet of constructed wetland, another three pipes were placed in the middle of constructed wetland after 25m from the inlet of the constructed wetland, and 3pipes were placed 1.5m from the outlet of constructed wetland.

Effluents were analyzed for biological oxygen demand (BOD), Chemical oxygen demand (COD), total khejldahl nitrogen (TKN), Nitrate (NO3 --N), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), pH, phosphate (PO4 3--P), electrical conductivity (EC) and fecal coliform (FC).
