Constructed floating wetlands (CFWs) promote the growth of plants in buoyant structures where nutrients can be assimilated into biomass, and thus offer an alternative treatment that is potentially more economically viable than conventional constructed wetlands (CWs). This study examined the hydroponic growth of native Australian plants including Ba...

In this paper an image analyser termed ‘Continuous Floc Image Analyser (C-FIA)’ developed for tracking the dynamics of floc formation, growth and settling during conventional water-treatment (i.e. coagulation, flocculation, and settling processes) is described. The C-FIA is proposed as an alternative to light-beam scattering and signal-based analys...

The Mediterranean climate zone is at serious risk in terms of agricultural production due to the detrimental effects of climate change. It is required to set up new production strategies against the difficulties in supplying irrigation water faced in our region for recent years. In this context, plant growth models stand out as an important tool. T...

A Continuous Floc Image Analyser (C-FIA) was developed for tracking the dynamics of floc particle formation, growth and settling during conventional drinking water treatment processes, comprising coagulation, flocculation and settling....

Constructed floating wetlands (CFWs) have been rising an innovative and environment-friendly water treatment technology for both stormwater and wastewater over the decades. For the sustainability of these systems, hydraulic components of wetland should be very well monitored and managed. This study examined the root resistance of Baumea rubiginosa...

Constructed Floating Wetlands (CFWs) are innovative and environmental-friendly water treatment technology and have been successfully implemented to treat polluted waters e.g., storm water runoff, municipal waste water, and natural lake/river water and so on. However, there have been limited studies to monitor the treatment performance of these syst...
