Ecological remediation with subsurface flow wetland is a widely used method for pollution abatement. The study found that subsurface flow wetlands have higher removal efficiency for TN compared to TP and COD. Additionally, higher water temperature, smaller flow velocity, and bigger water depth can improve the pollutants removal performance of subsurface flow wetlands.
Ecological remediation with subsurface flow wetland is one of the most widely used methods for pollution abatement. Assessment on its implementation efficiency is necessary but difficult. To evaluate the pollutant removal effect of constructed subsurface flow wetlands, a wetland growth model coupling with a hydrodynamic water quality model has been put forward. The coupled model has been used to assess the impact of constructed subsurface flow wetlands on a polluted lake in Hubei Province, China. Four pieces of constructed subsurface flow wetlands composed of Reed and Smooth cordgrass with total area of 38.9 thousand square meters for pollutant removal have been designed for the lake. Results showed that reductions of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN) were 246.38, 28.14 and 3.29 tons/year, respectively. Compared with the different pollutants, the removal efficiency of subsurface flow wetlands on TN (49%) is bigger than TP (34%), but less than COD (60%). Furthermore, the higher water temperature, smaller flow velocity and bigger water depth will improve the pollutants removal performance of subsurface flow wetlands.
