Abstract:
Most of Southern Mediterranean water courses suffer from numerous types of pollution.
This study presents a comprehensive performance assessment of a pilot CW system for removing various contaminants from the Litani River, Lebanon. The physico-chemical, pathogens and trace metal parameters were analyzed for river water as well as for the wetland effluent.
CWs seem to be a promising green technology for Lebanon for the reduction of bacterial contamination.
Further studies are required to improve treatment modules for different pollutants, including metals
