Abstract

Constructed wetland is a natural treatment system that physical, chemical and biological processes occur when water, soil, plants and microorganisms interact. Constructed wetlands treat different types of wastewaters such as agricultural, municipal, and industrial. In this study, Vertical Flow Subsurface Constructed Wetland (VFSSCW) was applied and examined at mesocosmic level for the removal efficiency of Nitrogen and Phosphorus from livestock effluent by using sandbed as substrates planted with Phragmites karka (Reed grass) and Vetivera zizanioides (Vetiver grass).The removal of N & P within wetlands is performed generally by plant uptake and by adsorption onto sediments. VFSSCW design system was designed for retention capacity of 130 liters for about 3 days. The removal efficiency is higher in Phragmites karka compare to Vetiveria zizanioides.

Key Words   
Constructed wetland, Phragmites karka, Vetiveria z
