摘要：Land areas which are wet during part or all of the year are referred as wetlands. Constructed wetlands are manmade systems that mimic the functions of natural wetlands and applied for wastewater treatment. Aim of the present study is to investigate the feasibility of using a macrophytes, Eichhornia crassipes in constructed wetland for treatment of wastewater in an institutional complex. The daily inlet and outlet wastewater physico-chemical parameters were analyzed during the period of two months. The parameters studied were pH, BOD, COD, DO, Total Suspended Solids, Total Dissolved Solids, Nitrogen and Phosphorus. The percentage removal of the parameters were analyzed and studied until the percent removal rate gets stabilized. The study showed that the surface flow constructed wetlands are best alternative among modern treatments.
