Wetlands for Water Pollution Control, Third Edition, formerly known as Wetland Systems to Control Urban Runoff, covers broad water and environmental engineering aspects relevant for the drainage and treatment of stormwater and wastewater, providing a descriptive overview of complex ‘black box’ treatment systems and general design issues involved. Fundamental science and engineering principles are explained to address the student and professional market. Standard and novel design recommendations for predominantly constructed wetlands and related sustainable drainage systems are also provided to account for interests of professional engineers and environmental scientists.

Users will find the latest research in wastewater treatment and runoff control presented in a manner that is ideal for academics, senior consultants, final year and postgraduate students, and graduate engineers, respectively.
