Books by Robert H. Kadlec

Treatment wetlands encompass a large diversity of managed ecosystems, and provide an impressive array of water quality improvement mechanisms. This book explains how to calculate the pollutant removal performance of water treatment marshes, which are used for waters that are only lightly polluted.

Presenting a survey of wetland design techniques and operational experience from treatment wetlands, this global synthesis discusses types of constructed wetlands, major design parameters, role of vegetation, hydraulic patterns, loadings, treatment efficiency, construction, operation and maintenance costs in depth.
