- Abstract
The wastewater treatment through artificial wetlands is used as a green technology, arising from a need to replicate the eco-systemic benefits of natural wetlands, to treat various effluents of wastewater. This work presents a bibliographic review about the different types of artificial wetlands and their depurative processes. Even though there are many studies on artificial wetlands, the information, so that is necessarily make to a synergy of this information. Although artificial wetlands are a frequent management practice for the mitigation of pollutants from agricultural and municipal runoff, in many countries, comparative studies on their purification efficiencies, their mantainance, as well as in deepen the investigation of alternative substrates, and preventive measures to avoid the clogging of the substrate, are needed.
