[EN] In this article, a mechanistic biokinetic model for nitrogen removal in free water surface constructed wetlands treating eutrophic water was developed, including organic matter performance due to its importance in ...
[EN] Knowledge about pollutant wash-off from urban impervious surfaces is a key feature for developing effective management strategies. Accordingly, further information is required about urban areas under semi-arid climate ...
The goal of this study is to examine the suitability of three plants, Typha spp., Phragmites spp. and Iris pseudacorus, in a free-water surface constructed wetland created to treat eutrophic water from Lake Albufera ...
[EN] In the last two decades, the utilization of constructed wetlands like wastewater treatment systems in small Spanish populations, with less than 2,000 inhabitants as population equivalent (PE), has spread considerably. ...
Los ecosistemas acuáticos se han convertido en numerosas ocasiones en el medio receptor de los desechos generados en poblaciones asentadas en sus proximidades. Entre los contaminantes que reciben se encuentran los metales ...
The determination of background levels of trace metals in soils and sediments is a key point for the proper assessment
of pollution degree. This study demonstrates the suitability of integrating geological and statistical ...

The main objective of this work is to design an artificial wetland for the purification of urban
wastewater produced in the municipality of Arcos de las salinas (Teruel). At present, a large
number of Spanish municipalities ...
[EN] In both large and small populations, the water passes through the processes of urban activities, where it is contaminated with several elements that decrease its quality. Rainfall runoff cleaning contaminated surfaces ...
[ES] La actuación consiste en la utilización de tres meandros abandonados del río Segura, actualmente incluidos en el catálogo de zonas húmedas de la Comunidad Valenciana para la instalación de unos humedales artificiales ...
Los humedales artificiales (HHAA) son sistemas de tratamiento de aguas residuales extensivos, creados a partir de la observación de los procesos físicos y biogeoquímicos de los humedales naturales para tratar aguas ...
Nowadays, eutrophication is the main problem affecting most our rivers and lakes. This has many negative effects on the affected ecosystems, such as high turbidity of the waters, an increase of algae biomass and a significant ...
El fango producido en estaciones de tratamiento de agua potable (ETAP) es un residuo que genera una seria y creciente preocupación ambiental. A pesar de que se han realizado estudios para la reutilización de los lodos ...
Aluminum-based sludges are unavoidable waste generated in drinking water treatment plants (ETAP), when aluminum salts are used as chemical coagulants for treatment. These waste is mainly disposed in landfills, increasing ...
Los sedimentos presentes en el fondo de las masas de agua se forman de manera natural
por deposición de partículas desde la columna de agua. El desequilibrio del aporte natural de
sedimentos, inducido en numerosas ...
[EN] The present study offers several management strategies in order to improve the performance of a free water surface constructed wetland that treats mainly eutrophic water and which is also designed to improve and ...

Lake Albufera (Valencia, Spain) is part of a legally protected wetland of international importance. However, it has deteriorated as a result of urban, industrial, and farming pollution. It is highly eutrophic, and its ...
Lake Albufera is one of the most eutrophic bodies of water in Spain due to the point and diffuse pollution over past decades and its sediments are likely to be anoxic because of the high organic matter flux. Hence, sulphides ...
