Constructed Wetland Treatment Train

Watch polluted water flow through a sequence of constructed-wetland treatment zones — sedimentation, nitrogen uptake, phosphorus binding and pathogen reduction — and see how flow rate, wetland size and the number of zones built control residence time and outlet water quality.

A constructed wetland treats polluted water by moving it slowly through a sequence of specialized zones: a sedimentation cell that lets suspended solids settle, a reed-root zone whose biofilm strips excess nitrogen, a substrate zone that binds phosphorus, and a final UV/microbial zone that knocks down pathogens. This simulator visualizes that treatment train in 3D — adjust inflow rate, wetland size and how many zones are actually built, and watch polluted water change color as it crosses each zone while live readouts show suspended solids, nitrogen, phosphorus and pathogen concentrations dropping (or failing to drop) from inlet to outlet.
