Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wastewater treatment is one of the main problems requiring solving to secure the protection of the environment and public health, especially in small cities and settlements where the construction and operation of modern wastewater treatment units are difficult. An effective solution to this problem could be the use of wetland ecosystems, which have become increasingly popular in the last 25 years, especially in developing countries. Therefore, it is important to investigate whether their operation provides the required ecological results and covers the economic costs necessary for their construction (in the case of constructed wetlands) and optimal use.
The proposed topics for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Alternative operation techniques of wetlands;
- Proposed ideas for the reduction in wetland operation costs;
- Environmental land selection criteria for the construction of wetlands;
- Impact of climatological parameters on wetland ecosystem performance.
