Wastewater management has become crucial as the global population grows. Construction wetlands (CWs) have emerged a promising way to treat wastewater, providing natural and cost-effective alternative. This review aims present state-of-the-art of CWs for sustainable wastewater management. The major parameters affecting constructed are characterized unit parameters, operational meteorological parameters. media vegetation, hydraulic loading rate flow rate. Among this, can be controlled by operators or design engineers whereas in case uncontrollable ones. study examines initially interaction between performance CWs. Then effect are, namely, temperature, wind speed, relative humidity on Furthermore, overall challenges faced critically reviewed, suitable recommendations suggested improve discussed. concludes that maximize CW efficiency, considerations include selecting appropriate (surface flow, subsurface hybrid), determining configuration system (horizontal vertical flow), substrate material, incorporating innovative technologies such solar-powered aeration systems biochar-amended substrates. In future, integrating with other advanced treatment technologies, enhancing plant species microbial consortia, adapting climate variations, developing better monitoring modeling methods.
