Emerging Developments in Constructed Wetlands aims to provide comprehensive, up-to-date information on recent trends and advances in the domain of constructed wetlands. The book contains consolidated insights into distinctive research areas with application potential and commercialization possibilities. It also offers access to updated fundamental knowledge, current trends, and research advances worthy of potential implementations in the field. Although there has been significant research progress in the domain of constructed wetlands over the last years, there is no book available with actual case studies to meet growing demands.

Yaqian Zhao

Yaqian Zhao is an Irish Chinese, distinguished professor at the Xi’an University of Technology; distinguished professor of "Hundred Talents Program" in Shaanxi province; chair professor of "Apsaras Scholars" in Gansu province; Fellow of the International Water Association (FIWA). Prof. Yaqian Zhao’s research covers a number of issues in the areas of water, wastewater, and biosolids/residual treatment engineering, with specific achievements in the areas of: (1) constructed wetland systems for wastewater treatment; (2) phosphorus removal/immobilization/adsorption and (3) waterworks sludge conditioning, dewatering and beneficial disposal/reuse. In recent years, he has developed several practical, low cost and environmentally friendly technologies for wastewater treatment. A novel constructed wetland system developed by Dr. Zhao for high strength wastewater treatment has been reported by The Irish Times (2008, 2012), ICE(UK) (2009), Water 21 (magazine of Int.
