How are Floating Treatment Wetlands maintained?

FAQ, Floating Treatment Wetland FAQ /

All stormwater treatment assets require maintenance to ensure ongoing operation, longer lifecycles, and regulatory compliance. The Atlan Floating Treatment Wetland (FTW) system requires minimal maintenance to ensure its long-term effectiveness, but these activities are critical to complete regularly. Floating Wetlands are systems that use biomimicry to establish ecosystems that mirror natural floating islands. They provide

How do Floating Treatment Wetlands work?

FAQ, Floating Treatment Wetland FAQ /

Floating Treatment Wetlands (FTWs) combine natural biological processes with engineered stormwater design. The plants that grow in these systems remove pollutants from water bodies such as lakes, ponds, stormwater basins, and canals. These natural systems facilitate filtration, nutrient reduction, and sedimentation. Effectively treating incoming stormwater flows, Floating Treatment Wetlands provide environments to enhance each of

Which plants are suitable for growing in Floating Treatment Wetlands?

FAQ, Floating Treatment Wetland FAQ /

Plant selection for Floating Treatment Wetlands (FTWs) is very similar to that of a traditional constructed wetland. These plant selections can mirror the species present in natural waterway ecosystems, be customised with native flora to support biodiversity, or include specific plant species for high-performance stormwater treatment outcomes. In stormwater treatment applications, wetland grasses, sedges, and
