A METland is an innovative treatment wetland (TW) that relies on the stimulation of electroactive bacteria (EAB) to enhance degradation pollutants. The designed in a short-circuit mode (in absence external circuit) using electroconductive bed capable accepting electrons from microbial metabolism Although METlands are proven be highly efficient removing organic pollutants, study situ EAB activity full-scale systems challenge due two-electrode configuration. For first time, four independent were tested for removal pollutants and nutrients, establishing correlation with response generated by presence EAB. efficiency was enhanced plants mixed oxic-anoxic conditions, average 56 g chemical oxygen demand (COD) mbed material-3 day-1 2 total nitrogen (TN) Ørby (partially saturated system). estimated electron current density (J) provides evidence its relationship matter. reached max. values 188.14 mA m-2 (planted system; IMDEA 1), 223.84 (non-planted 2), 125.96 (full 123.01 2).

The review aims to report the state-of-the-art constructed wetlands (CW) in Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region not limited national local conditions. aim is with a broader view, bring updated sufficient information, facilitate use of CW technology different countries LAC. Thus, 520 experiences extracted from 169 reviewed documents 20 were analyzed. According data, horizontal subsurface flow are most reported (62%), second common free water surface (17%), then vertical systems (9%), followed by intensified (8%), finally French (4%). performance for nutrient removal analyzed, finding that mean Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Nitrogen (TN), Phosphorous (TP) efficiencies varies 65% 83%, 55% 72%, 30% 84%, respectively. results suggest generally good COD TN removal, but low TP removal. Regarding plant species used CWs, 114 reported, being until now extensive about CWs LAC region.

A framework developed by the COST Action Circular City (an EU-funded network of 500+ scientists from 40+ countries; = Cooperation in Science and Technology) for addressing Urban Circularity Challenges (UCCs) with nature-based solutions (NBSs) was analyzed various urban sectors which refer to different fields activities circular management resources cities (i.e., reducing use production waste). The comprise built environment, water management, resource recovery, farming. We present main findings sector analyses, discuss perspectives, show ways overcome these differences. results reveal potential NBSs address multiple sectors, as well UCCs. While has been identified a key element when using most are interconnected also secondary benefits other resources. Using representative examples, we how holistic systemic approach could facilitate cities. Currently, there is often disciplinary focus on one applying NBSs. full multifunctionality is, thus, usually not fully accounted for. On basis our results, conclude that experts disciplines can engage cross-sectoral exchange identify recover provide improve livelihood locals. This an important first step toward enabling

In Central and Eastern Europe, about one-third of the population lives in small settlements (<2000 PE). Since current European Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) does not clearly regulate collection treatment wastewater from these settlements, countries solve problem individually. Simple robust technologies such as nature-based systems could be solution are widely applied many EU countries. this paper, status collection, treatment, reuse rural areas 14 Europe is presented together with spread different systems. The results show that last decade, connection to plants has increased 9% 19% total settlements. use treated water rarely applied. Sequencing batch reactors other types activated sludge predominate technologies. Nature-based (mainly wetlands) used all studied. Their implementation slowly increasing, hampered by lack acceptance authorities, good case studies, misdesigned or misoperated examples past. More awareness, formalized training on systems, supportive legislation needed promote sustainable sanitation solutions

To preserve and restore water ecosystems, China has implemented increasingly stringent emissions standards (Weak, Moderate, Ambitious) for wastewater treatment plants constructed wetlands (CWs) are an effective means of improving tailwater standards. We used Life Cycle Assessment Costing models to quantify the economic environmental costs benefits upgrading drainage through CW 8054 WWTPs in China, calculated their benefit–cost ratios (BCR). Two land-use scenarios were considered according whether cultivated land was eligible use by CWs. The construction phase greatest contributor both impact cost.
