Book excerpt: Proceedings of the International Conference on Wetland Systems for Water Pollution Control, held in Brazil, 27 September - 2 October 1998. It is increasingly recognised that wetland systems can play a significant role in protection of the water environment. Where once their main attraction was a perceived 'green' character, now constructed wetlands are chosen to provide cost-effective and efficient wastewater treatment - in municipal and industrial applications - that matches up to regulatory requirements. The forty-five papers in these proceedings have been selected from those presented at the highly successful 6th International Conference on Wetland Systems for Water Pollution Control. Six papers are invited keynote addresses, which review aspects of wetland systems from an authoritative and up-to-date perspective. The remaining papers are divided into the following themes: Industrial Wastewaters; Ecology of Microorganisms and Natural Systems; Wetland Processes; Combined Systems; Role of Plants; Design of Wetlands; Wetland Hydraulics; Hospital Wastewaters; and Stormwater and Runoff.
