Abstract

The role of natural and constructed wetlands for urban water bodies’ protection from contaminations is considered. Higher aquatic plants on the bottom or in the offshore zone of streams or lakes allow protect them from contaminations, which come with washing, melting or storm waters from urban areas, highways and railways. Furthermore, macrophytes improve water quality inside water bodies and catalyze them self-treatment functions. The phytotechnologies are spatially effective for prevention water bodies from contaminations, such as, plastics, other solid wastes, and higher plant debris. These methods are effective and economic profitable for disinfecting and treating waster water which have oil and oil products, synthetic surface-active matters, nutrients sulfates, heave metals, and str.

Keywords

phytotechnologies, natural and constructed wetlands, macrophytes, waster water.
