Abstract

Nowadays, drainage water is being reused to overcome the gap between the amounts of available and water required. Constructed wetlands, whether of free surface flow or subsurface flow, aim among several purposes, at improving the quality of wastewater. However, the recommended discharge of these wetlands which is 2500 m3/day, although could decrease the levels of pollutants in wastewater, yet it might be of interest to increase this discharge to meet the increased demands for water. Also, since the efficiency of the wetland to remove pollutants is dependent, among other factors, on the type of the plant cultivated in the surface flow cells, then trying some different types of plants might be fruitful. Therefore, the current study conducted aims at: (1) Assessing the efficiency of the constructed wetland under lower (1250 m3/day) and higher (5000 m3/day) discharges than the usual (2500 m3/day).  (2)Investigating the use of cattail and papyrus plants in the surface flow cell, compared with the commonly used reed plant..
