Abstract
The water resources have been a large amount of exploited natural system since man strode the earth. Water bodies’ pollution is growing gradually due to rapid growth of population, urbanization, industrial operations, increasing living standards and wide spheres of human activities due to increased use of water and thus release of domestic sewage and other variety of wastewater. Proper treatment of wastewater is necessary to ensure that the receiving water into which the effluent is finally discharged is not drastically polluted. Constructed wetlands have been used for decades mostly for the treatment of domestic or municipal sewage. However, recently constructed wetlands have been used for many other type of wastewater including industrial and agricultural wastewaters, landfill leachate or stromwater runoff. As many of these wastewaters are difficult to treat in a single stage system, hybrid systems which consist of different types of constructed wetlands staged in series have been introduced. (Vymazal, 2005). Root zone treatment system has been developed for variety of wastewater treatment. This technique accomplishes the natural capability of the plant species to transport large amount of oxygen from the atmosphere to its root zone, where a diversity of microorganisms present in the soil to eliminate pollutants from the wastewater.
