Applications of Constructed Wetlands for Water Pollution Control in Taiwan: Review

Abstract

A review of published literature and practical projects of constructed wetlands (CWs) implemented in Taiwan was conducted to highlight wetland performance in wastewater treatment for various applications. Specific opportunities and limitations as well as problems and recommendations for exploring CW technology in Taiwan were also discussed. During the last decade, the number of CWs in Taiwan increased exponentially. Up to 2006, approximately 82 full-scale CWs have been installed and more than ten systems are in construction. The size of CWs ranged from
