“…As for the vegetation cover, young plants of C. indica and T. latifolia were obtained from the wastewater garden (WWG) of Tamacine (33°01 0 19″ N, 6°01 0 22″ E) province of Touggourt, Algeria, and planted at the beginning of December 2020. The plants were fixed in the bed at a density of 36 rhizomes per square meter (Kipasika et al 2016;Bebba et al 2019). The system was operated for one month to achieve acclimatization of the plant to wastewater.…”

“…Different plant composition designs have been applied to VFCWs to test their effects on pollutant removal because nutrient absorption rates vary between plant species (Sirianuntapiboon & Jitvimolnimit 2007;Van de Moortel et al 2010). In the same region, many studies have experimented on plants in monoculture (Amiri et al 2019;Bebba et al 2019;Yahiaoui et al 2020). More research on these plant species is necessary to ascertain the effectiveness of plants in mixed cultures.…”

This work investigates three laboratory-scale vertical flow-constructed wetlands (VFCWs) for treating a secondary effluent of wastewater under arid conditions to investigate the efficiency of two plants Canna indica and Typha latifolia in mono and mixed culture. The VFCWs were operated under hydraulic load (0.057 m3/m2d) and 5 days retention time. The results indicated no significant differences (P > 0.05) between the mono and mixed cultures. The C. indica gives the best efficiency of pollutant removal as COD (71.34%), NO2− (69.34%), and PO43− (69.67%). The uptake of TSS (83.98%) was best in the case of mixed culture. The mean percentages of BOD5 were convergent for mono and mixed culture, and it exceeds 89.80% in mixed culture. The mean percentages in NH4+ (98.69%) in mixed culture, elimination of NO2−, and the increase in the concentration of NO3− in the treated effluent showed the presence of nitrification in the VFCWs units. The two plant species exhibit high efficiency in the elimination of pollution compared to the unplanted control, with a slight superiority in the mixed culture. Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of these plants can be effective in arid conditions.

This work investigated the long-term performance of a small wastewater garden (WWG) system for treating municipal wastewater, which has been operating continuously since 2007. The studied system consisted of a horizontal subsurface flow (HFCW) and treated a flow rate of 15 m3/day. Results from 15 years of operation showed that the system has an average removal efficiency of 90.76, 85.12, 89.43, 66.87, 94.74, and 94.74% for total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), nitrites (NO2–), nitrates (NO3–), and orthophosphates (PO43−), respectively. The high efficiency of the WWG plant was achieved during 2018–2022 compared to the two first years of operation (apart from the TSS). It was noted that the removal of BOD5, NO2–, NO3–, and PO43− has been improved in the last years of operation. The elimination COD remained relatively consistent between the initial and present period of operation. The finding confirms the high efficiency in the long-term operation of municipal wastewater treatment. Thus, it can serve as a suitable solution for small communities, especially in arid climate areas.
