Developments in Wetland Technologies for control of Wastewater and Diffuse Pollution

The 2016 programme is now available to download.

Wetland ecosystems can process a wide range of waterborne contaminants, and understanding these wetland processes enables us to engineer wetlands to be treatment systems with reliable performance, ecosystem and amenity benefits, and flood mitigation. This year the Constructed Wetland Association is focusing upon the science and practice of measuring and understanding the benefits of wetland systems, including removal of a wide range of contaminants from wastewater, from treating diffuse pollution sources, and from making natural ecosystems more effective at processing waterborne contaminants.

Who Should Attend?

The CWA annual conference has a track record of attracting a good mix of practitioners, academics, regulators and technology users. It would be of interest to practitioners in constructed wetlands; anyone interested in low energy wastewater treatment, professionals working to improve river water quality by tackling diffuse pollution (eg catchment partnerships); regulators and government organisations interested in water framework directive, biodiversity, sustainability or wastewater regulation; academics in the field of wetland engineering or pollution control.
