Constructed wetlands (CWs) attempt to simulate the physicochemical and biological processes that occur within a natural wetland have been employed in recent decades for wastewater treatment. This work aims review use of CWs domestic treatment undeveloped or developing areas, including amount literature produced, type constructed wetland, vegetation, substrate, social benefits achieved, through qualitative methodology where different articles are collected from Scopus Web Science databases after strict revision by means PRISMA method (Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses) CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Program). A total 49 were selected, co-occurrence density maps obtained; following this, three main themes five keywords with highest correlation identified. The analyzed this exposes types not only hybrid, vertical, horizontal flow systems stand out, but also floating aerated wetlands, which present high removal efficiencies. Additionally, new substrate materials, such as olote, palm shells, coconut peat, ornamental plants usually used, Phragmites australis Thypha latifolia, discussed; however, studies vegetation has little studied potential be implemented areas silvicultural characteristics out: Duranta repens, Pennisetum pedicellatum, Pistia stratiotes. In conclusion, there is an advancement research these systems, configurations, substrates, treat wastewater; addition, opportunity continue studying installation at household level; compared other application mentioned above, its implementation requires greater challenge, since it compact design easy handling.
