Floating Treatment Wetlands
An Innovative Option for Stormwater Quality Applications
In this paper we distinguish FTWs from free-floating macrophyte systems by the fact that FTWs utilize larger wetland plant species that are normally classified as emergent (e.g. rushes, reeds and sedges) growing on a somewhat consolidated floating mat, as opposed to an unconsolidated mass of small, individual buoyant plants lacking any significant mat.
