Abstract:
The current wastewater management sector in Lebanon, particularly in the Bekaa region, is facing significant challenges. These challenges have had a detrimental effect on the health and livelihoods of local Lebanese communities and Syrian refugees, particularly during the ongoing economic crisis in the country. This project proposes a system that utilizes three main components to enhance wastewater quality and make it suitable for irrigation. The components include sedimentation tanks for solids decantation, a phytoremediation-constructed wetland that utilizes macrophytes to eliminate organic and inorganic contaminants, and a final stage where biological disinfectants are removed through UV sterilization. The duckweed Lemna gibba, which is widely available, was used for its remediation properties, and the removal of 82.77% of BOD and 79.6% of COD was proven by multiple researchers.
