Janisch-Schulz - Wetland - Brochure

In the literature and in the relevant regulations, a constructed wetland is also referred to as a plant bed, reed bed or reed bed sewage treatment plant. Technical terms such as planted soil filter or planted filter are also common. The plants consist of a permeable filter substrate and are planted with moisture-loving plants. A distinction is made between plants with a vertical or horizontal flow vector. Operators of a constructed wetland do not pay connection fees or wastewater contributions. However, they are obliged to regularly prove the function of the plant to the water authorities. For this purpose, they must submit a maintenance contract with a suitable company.
