Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, increased levels of water consumption, and correspondingly high levels of pollution, have made water remediation essential for sustainable development. Constructed wetlands (CWs) are one of the most promising eco-technologies for water remediation, with proven efficiency and applications in both rural to urban, and even industrial, areas. The principles and influencing factors for pollutant removal of CWs have been extensively discussed, and various approaches have been conducted by researchers and practitioners to improve its treatment capacity and efficiency. Recently, CWs have faced new challenges, such as the removal of emerging pollutants, e.g., antibiotic, microplastic, and some persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Additionally, the query on the function of CWs in high latitude areas and its performance after long term operation are still issues of concern in the industry. Moreover, the public focus on the extreme climate events occurring in many parts of the globe also demand a rethinking of the ecological benefit of CWs.
Thus, we would like to invite you to provide comprehensive, up-to-date insight into recent trends and advances in the application of constructed wetlands for water remediation. We foresee that the papers compiled in this important Special Issue of Water would contribute to the further development and wider application of CWs as reliable and robust solutions for water remediation.
