Résumé :
|
Nature-driven water pollution control systems such as constructed wetlands offer a low cost alternative for treating municipal, industrial and agricultural effluents. These systems, already applied extensively in developed countries, may offer opportunities to developing countries where resources for construction and use of sophisticated fossil fuel driven treatment systems are not available. Currently there are thousands of wetland systems in operation around the world, as such there has been tremendous efforts over the past many years to understand better the processes taking place in these system to be able to optimise their treatment function. The conference is a necessary forum for synthesis and interpretation of the current knowledge on treatment wetlands. The conference will emphasise: - The inter-disciplinarity nature of the topic - The need to embrace a holistic approach in analysing the wetland systems - The diversity of researchers from scientific and engineering disciplines - The need to synthesise the research findings for decision making - The need to transfer technology to the developing countries - The need for sharing information among researchers - The need to map-out future direction for design and management of wetlands systems
