Abstract

The paper presents a numerical treatment of flow and contaminant removal in porous media with emphasis to horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands. The purpose here is to find their optimal design characteristics as concerns the contaminant inlet positions, in order to maximize the removal efficiency.
