What is PASSIVE WETLAND TREATMENT SYSTEM?

A Passive Wetland Treatment System (PWTS) is an environmentally sustainable approach to treating contaminated water, particularly for mining and agricultural runoff. It utilizes natural wetland processes, such as sedimentation, filtration, and microbial activity, to remove pollutants like nutrients, heavy metals, and sediments without the need for mechanical intervention or external energy inputs. These systems rely on vegetation and natural hydrology to enhance water quality, making them cost-effective and low-maintenance solutions for water treatment.
