Floating treatment wetland (FTW) systems involve the application of naturally occurring plants as floating hydroponic mats on the water surface. Floating treatment wetlands can help keep our fresh water clean and healthy.
Freshwater lakes around the world are in trouble. Urbanization, waste treatment, landscape changes, agriculture and natural resource extraction cause runoff of nutrients, contaminants, petroleum products and organic materials into freshwater lakes around the world. Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) or islands are small artificial platforms that allow aquatic plants to grow in water that is typically too deep for them. The unique ecosystem that develops creates the potential to capture nutrients and transform common pollutants that would otherwise plague and harm our lakes into harmless by-products.
Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) or islands are small artificial platforms that allow these aquatic emergent plants to grow in water that is typically too deep for them. Their roots spread through the floating islands and down into the water creating dense columns of roots with lots of surface area.
The processes that make Floating Treatment Wetlands effective at cleaning fresh water. The processes that make Floating Treatment Wetlands effective at cleaning fresh water. The shelter provided by the floating mat also allows sediment and elements to settle by reducing turbulence and mixing by wind and waves.
Floating treatment wetland (FTW) systems involve the application of naturally occurring plants as floating hydroponic mats on the water surface. These floating macrophytes promote the hydraulic flow of the water below and through the plants, with the root system working as a natural filter
