- Additional information
- his paper present results of a full-scale experimental constructed wetlands and achieves to quantify and assess longitudinal dispersion coefficient over different and contrasting seasons as well as various hydraulic parameters. It is demonstrated that hydraulic residence time, mixing characteristics and flow structure present greater affinity with plant season compared to discharge variation. Results obtained are important to wetland designers and operators (such as the Coal Authority), to engineers, to modellers, to Environmental & Regulatory Bodies (such as Environment Agency, Defra), City Councils, environmentalists, farm communities. Concepts highlighted permitted a follow up Research Grant with the Coal Authority.
