The discharge of wastewater into bodies water and subsoil poses a serious pollution problem. In many neighborhoods or districts, there are often no treatment systems due to the high costs involved, which may compromise human health. Constructed wetlands (CWs) offer an ecological solution improve quality enable its reuse. They promote removal contaminants through physical, chemical, biological processes. objective this study was evaluate Canna hybrids, Zingiber spectabile, Alpinia purpurata—ornamental plants not typical wetlands—regarding their function as phytoremediators growth under such conditions. Utilizing CWs with ornamental for in could adoption ecotechnology. To end, eight cells were built: two controls (without plants), contained had included purpurata, all designed hydraulic retention time three days. Inlet outlet samples collected biweekly six months. results showed that hybrids spectabile removed from 40 70% total nitrogen phosphorus. terms organic matter, measured COD TSS, removals ranged 55 90%. contrast, purpurata demonstrated rates only 30 50%, statistically lower (p ≤ 0.05), indicating slower adaptation wetland This adaptability is directly related species, also exhibited lowest rates. concluded using studied viable alternative treating and, at same time, they add commercial value vegetation. Additionally, can enhance aesthetic landscape colorful flowers attract birds insects treated be utilized irrigate sports areas urban planters.
