Opis

This study, conducted in Kenya, provides an insight into the performance of a constructed treatment wetland receiving pulp and paper mill wastewater in the tropics. The study concludes that integrating a full-scale wetland would significantly improve the quality of water in River Nzoia downstream of the effluent discharge.
