This outstanding new book examines the planning, design, construction, and operation of wetlands used for water quality treatment. Treatment Wetlands is the first comprehensive book to systematically describe all aspects of this new technology. Topics include all major wetland configurations, wastewater sources, and combinations of climatic conditions. This complete reference contains detailed information on wetland ecology, wetland water quality, selection of appropriate technology, design for consistent performance, construction guidance, and operational control through effective monitoring. Design approaches that can be tailored to specific wetland treatment projects are also included. Rule-of-thumb methods, regression-based empirical design approaches, and rational methods are explained facilitating wetland design based on multi-parameter input conditions.

Treatment Marshes for Runoff and Polishing represents the most comprehensive and up-date-date resource for the design, construction, and operation of marsh treatment systems. This new edition represents a complete rewrite of the surface flow sections of previous editions of Treatment Wetlands. It is based on the performance hundreds of treatment marshes over the past 40 years. Treatment Marshes focuses on urban and agricultural runoff, river and lake water improvement, and highly treated municipal effluents. New information from the past dozen years is used to improve data interpretation and design concepts. Topics included in this book are <ul>
<li>Diversity of marsh vegetation </li> <li>Analyses of the human use of treatment marshes </li> <li>New concepts of underground processes and functions </li> <li>Spectrum of marsh values spanning mitigation, restoration, enhancement, and water quality improvement </li> <li>Improved methods for calculation of evapotranspiration and wetland water temperatures </li> <li>Hydraulics of surface and subsurface flows in marshes </li> <li>Analysis of long track records for deterministic and probabilistic behavior </li> <li>Consideration of integrated microbial and vegetative contaminant removals via mass balances </li> <li>Uptake and emission of gases </li> <li>Performance of urban and agricultural wetlands </li> <li>Design procedures for urban and agricultural wetlands </li> <li>Reduction of trace metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, and trace organics </li> <li>Updated capital and O&amp;M economics, and valuation of ancillary benefits </li> <li>An updated list of over 1900 references</li> </ul>

Treatment Marshes for Runoff and Polishing

Completely revised and updated, Treatment Wetlands, Second Edition is still the most comprehensive resource available for the planning, design, and operation of wetland treatment systems. The book addresses the design, construction, and operation of wetlands for water pollution control. It presents the best current procedures for sizing these systems, and describing the intrinsic processes that combine to quantify performance. The Second Edition covers: <ul>
<li>New methods based on the latest research</li> <li>Wastewater characterization and regulatory framework analyses leading to detailed design and economics</li> <li>State-of-the-art procedures for analyzing hydraulics, hydrology, substrates and wetlands biogeochemistry</li> <li>Definition of performance expectations for traditional pollutants such as solids, oxygen demand, nutrients and pathogens, as well as for metals and a wide variety of individual organic and inorganic chemicals</li> <li>Discussion of methods of configuration, construction, and vegetation establishment and startup considerations</li> <li>Ancillary benefits of human use and wildlife habitat</li> <li>Specific examples of numerous applications</li> <li>Extensive reference base of current information 
</li>
</ul>
The book provides a complete reference that includes: detailed information on wetland ecology, design for consistent performance, construction guidance and operational control through effective monitoring. Case histories of operational wetland treatment systems illustrate the variety of design approaches presented allowing you to tailor them to the needs of your wetlands treatment projects. The sheer amount of information found in Treatment Wetlands, Second Edition makes it the resource you will turn to again and again.
