Description of the innovative component:
CWs are engineered systems designed to utilize natural processes within the ecosystem vegetation-soilmicroorganisms to achieve polluted water or WW treatment. A combination of physic-chemical processes and intensive biological activity in the soil, roots and plants transforms pollutants to non-hazardous byproducts or essential nutrients.
Obstacles to implementation
- Isuffi cient funding instruments to support solution for NCW
- Lack of public acceptance of water reuse
