This paper presents a low-cost protocol for establishing large-scale wastewater reclamation using floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) by integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern engineering principles. The article describes the steps for setting up a plant nursery, designing and establishing the FTWs, vegetating units, and building the FTW island.
Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) consist of buoyant rafts that support the growth of macrophytes on waterbodies. The long-term performance of these rafts depends on their buoyancy and resistance to weathering. Here, we present a protocol for establishing low-cost FTWs for large-scale wastewater reclamation by integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern engineering princi-ples. We describe steps for setting up a plant nursery, designing and establishing the FTWs, vegetating units, and building the FTW island. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Afzal et al.1
