Constructed Wetlands Community of Practice

This page anchors the Constructed Wetlands Community of Practice. The GEF has actively financed a series of projects and initiatives establishing constructed wetlands as a low-cost alternative to wastewater treatment. This CoP is also targeted at projects that include wetland restoration in general to increase nutrient trapping. On this page, users can find links to contacts, projects and activities, related conference proceedings and other information related to global and regional attempts to utilize constructed treatment wetlands.
