LARRIVA VASQUEZ, Josué Bernardo  and  GONZALEZ DIAZ, Orestes Arsenio. Hydraulic modelling for horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands. riha [online]. 2017, vol.38, n.1, pp. 3-16. ISSN 1680-0338.

In the present work studies are presented using tracer tests to characterize the hydraulic behavior of a constructed wetland with horizontal subsurface flow for wastewater treatment. The application of different models for the study of flow inside the reactor showed the importance of including geometric and hydraulic elements in the design methodology in order to assure the expected flow behavior and therefore contaminant removing efficiency.

Keywords : hydrodynamic behavior; artificial wetlands; flow models; series tank model; Wolf-Resnick model.
