Constructed wetlands treat stormwater, but their effectiveness varies depending on the rainfall. This study looked at how different parts of the stormwater flow are treated in a wetland. They found that small rain events are treated less effectively at the beginning but improve towards the end. To get consistent treatment, it's important to have calm water entering the wetland.
