Optimising biodegradation and removal of organic and inorganic pollutants in wastewater using constructed wetlands

澳大利亚干燥的气候和人口的迅速增长决定了水循环的紧迫性。人工湿地是通过去除无机物和促进有机污染物的生物降解来净化废水的环境友好的方式，从而产生可用于各种适合用途的应用的再生水。该项目将产生一个决策支持系统，用于优化湿地在去除废水中的无机物和生物降解有机污染物方面的性能，从而加强我们这个干燥大陆的水循环和再利用。

The urgency of water recycling is dictated by drying climate and rapid expansion of population in Australia. Constructed wetlands are environmentally-benign way to purify wastewater by removing inorganics and facilitating biodegradation of organic pollutants, thus producing recycled water that can be used in a variety of fit-for-purpose applications. This project will produce a decision-support system for optimising wetland performance in removing inorganics and biodegrading organic pollutants from wastewater, thus enhancing water recycling and reuse in this drying continent of ours.
