| dc.description.abstract | The Constructed Wetlands (CWs) are engineering designs that improve wastewater
quality in a harmless way to the ecosystem. Even though it is a low-cost method of water
quality improvement, it is not widely used in Sri Lanka and not maintained in a proper
manner. The current study reviews the utilization of constructed wetlands within the
Sri Lankan context and the studies done related to the application were analyzed
through a critical desktop search. Presently, CWs are being used in real-time
applications in the fields of landfill leachate treatment, slaughterhouses, greywater, and
the dairy industry within the country. Studies have proven the potential of using CWs as
an optimum wastewater treatment option in the above categories. It is recommended to
conduct further studies on the usage of CWs in other industrial fields as well and to
determine the best fit for vegetation matching with the type of wastewater plus the
climate region of the island. | en_US |
