Abstract

In developing countries, the most of the wastewater being generated in the outskirt areas of cities and rural area is directly disposed into the surface water bodies without treatment. It will leads to serious degradation of aquatic ecosystem and impair the water quality. The present paper states that constructed wetland provides better secondary treatment to the domestic wastewater with different media and plant species. For single species constructed wetland, in retention time of 11 days, it was found that the maximum removal efficiencies of 93.17 for BOD, 78 for COD and 96.49 for total suspended solids for different plant species and media. For multispecies constructed wetland, in the retention time of 11 days, it was found that the maximum removal efficiencies of 93.6 for BOD, 92.9 for COD, 94 for total suspended solids. Mr. Suhas J.
