Abstract: The lack of information on constructed-wetland performance in the tropics is among the factors that have hindered the adoption of low-cost wastewater-treatment technologies as alternatives to conventional wastewater treatment. A pilot scale study was undertaken in Juja (Kenya) to assess the performance of horizontal subsurface flow–constructed wetlands (HSSF-CWs) under tropical conditions. Primary domestic wastewater effluent was continuously fed into three replicate wetland cells, each with an area of
