As plants grow on these FTW (Floating Treatment Wetlands) modules, they suspend roots in the water column to provide a network of pollution removal pathways to reduce TSS, nitrogen, phosphorus and algal blooms.<\/p><p>Below the water surface, the root structure of the floating wetlands becomes a habitat for micro and macro-organisms. Above the surface, there is an ecosystem that supports local flora and fauna \u2013 providing a wildlife haven for frogs, birds and fish.<\/p><p>Large-scale green asset programs can be a costly investment for local councils \u2013 and these pilot programs act as ongoing trials to ensure that FTW solutions align with the requirements of local water bodies and improve water quality, amenity, and beautification.<\/p><p>Aided by the modular design of our Floating Treatment Wetlands \u2013 a successful pilot program can become part of a larger stormwater asset by adding modules to increase the area of the FTW.<\/p><p>The ability to add additional modules to an existing pilot program is of great benefit for councils wishing to test the waters \u2013 and allows the design of these assets to scale to meet their growing community needs as local support and water quality outcomes emerge.<\/p><p>\u201cAcceptance by residents and stakeholders aligns with local council\u2019s desire to have community support when funding these WSUD and green assets,\u201d says Robert.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6286ac8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"6286ac8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=yES71EjE1bk&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdb4b4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"bdb4b4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\r\n{\r\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\r\n  \"@graph\": [\r\n    {\r\n      \"@type\": \"VideoObject\",\r\n      \"name\": \"Floating Treatment Wetlands \u2013 Stormwater Treatment Solution\",\r\n      \"description\": \"Overview of floating treatment wetlands used for stormwater and wastewater treatment in pilot programs, demonstrating how modular floating platforms support vegetation and microbial processes to improve water quality in sustainable waterways.\",\r\n      \"thumbnailUrl\": \"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/yES71EjE1bk\/maxresdefault.jpg\",\r\n      \"uploadDate\": \"2024-08-26T00:00:00+10:00\",\r\n      \"embedUrl\": \"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yES71EjE1bk\",\r\n      \"contentUrl\": \"https:\/\/youtu.be\/yES71EjE1bk\",\r\n      \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\r\n        \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\r\n        \"@id\": \"https:\/\/atlanstormwater.com\/au\/floating-treatment-wetlands-pilot-programs-for-sustainable-waterways\/\"\r\n      },\r\n      \"publisher\": {\r\n        \"@type\": \"Organization\",\r\n        \"name\": \"Atlan Stormwater\",\r\n        \"url\": \"https:\/\/atlanstormwater.com\",\r\n        \"logo\": {\r\n          \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\r\n          \"url\": \"https:\/\/atlanstormwater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/atlan-logo.svg\"\r\n        }\r\n      }\r\n    }\r\n  ]\r\n}\r\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a8d324 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7a8d324\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Planting an FTW: Community Engagement<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-763a35f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"763a35f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>During these pilot programs, Atlan liaised with local gardening groups and community nurseries to encourage the local community to learn about stormwater treatment and to get involved with planting.
