Abstract

The advances in Australian practice on the use of constructed wetlands for stormwater treatment were discussed. The Australian design practices of constructed stormwater wetlands include the compartmentalization of constructed stormwater wetlands, testing of particle size distribution on suspended sediments conveyed by urban stormwater and the use of hydrologic effectiveness curves for selection of appropriate extended detention storage volume of constructed wetlands. The active engagement of landscape designer to achieve a balance between meeting their aesthetic objectives with those of stormwater quality improvement was also elaborated.
