Constructed wetlands can be used as artificial wastewater treatment systems. There are many design factors which affect the effluent quality from a free water surface constructed wetland. This 3-hour online course covers the consideration of some of these factors that can significantly reduce the effluent variation. It also provides a brief summary of expected wetland treatment performance, describes issues that are important in the design and layout of a free water surface wetland, and includes several design examples. Construction issues unique to constructed wetlands are also discussed. Additional Red Vector courses are available on other topics related to constructed wetlands. This course is based on guidance documents published by the Environmental Protection Agency.

This course includes a multiple-choice quiz after each section to test your understanding of the material.
