Enhancing the wastewater treatment in Tehovec by using a Constructed Wetland

Muhammad Merei

Master's thesis

Abstract:

Constructed wetlands have a lot of potential for wastewater treatment, and they're used for a variety of things like farm wastewater, stormwater runoff, and mine drainage. Their application is for small communities and developments that lack wastewater treatment or to improve any type of wastewater treatment that already exists. In accordance with the requirements of sustainable development and decentralized systems, constructed wetlands can be an appropriate alternative to traditional centralized treatment plants. This thesis aims to raise the quality of wastewater treatment in Tehovec to the highest possible level at the lowest possible cost and with the least amount of environmental impact. The literature review section summarizes the design and implementation of the constructed wetlands, as well as the cleansing processes and procedures that exist in the treatment medium and plants. A short history of the Czech Republic's use of the constructed wetlands concept is also included. The practical section of the thesis examines the current state of wastewater treatment in Tehovec before proposing a design for the new constructed wetland. The design is based on the village's current circumstances. A field survey was conducted before the design was proposed to assess the quantity and quality of wastewater generated by the village population. The next step is to choose a location for the new constructed wetland, which includes a detailed description of all plot features that affect the constructed wetland's function and, as a result, the entire surrounding area. The thesis concludes with a detailed proposal for a new constructed wetland as well as preliminary drawings to implement the new design.
