Constructed wetlands continue to be a popular choice for a range of applications and take-up of the technology across Europe and other parts of the world is now quite extensive. As a result our experience of their design, operation and capabilities continues to grow. When specified appropriately, a well designed constructed wetland offers a robust and reliable process option with minimal energy requirements. There are a number of legislative changes in the pipeline that will further add to the attractions of constructed wetlands including concerns over the spill frequencies of intermittent discharges, minewater drainage and further applications of the Water Framework Directive. The resulting requirements to meet tighter standards must be delivered against a background of reducing carbon emissions across the whole water industry.

This conference aims to share and promote best practice in the many applications for constructed wetlands in both the domestic and industrial sectors. As part of the conference delegates will be taken on a tour of a treatment wetland onsite which was designed to treat minewater.

Delegates will also have the opportunity to go on an underground tour of one of Britain's oldest working mines. The tour is free of charge, to ensure a place please select the relevant box when registering.
