Constructed wetlands show promise in treating salty wastewater effectively.
A study tested a wetland system's ability to clean salty wastewater. They found that reeds in the wetland helped remove pollutants like COD, ammonia, and phosphorus. More salt in the water actually improved phosphorus removal. Keeping the water in the wetland for 4 days was best for removing ammonia and phosphorus. This research can help make wetlands better at treating salty wastewater.
