Evaluation of agricultural pollutants (pesticides and nitrate) removal performance in a constructed wetland
Résumé
The European Water Framework Directive (EWFD) enjoins the EU member states to protect aquatic ecosystems so that their rivers and ground water achieve good chemical and biological status by 2015. The implementation of this directive involves both technical solutions and incentives for changing social practices. The Rampillon’s wetland has been monitored by the team TAPAHS of IRSTEA during 2 years. The quality of water has been analysed for nitrate and pesticides at the inlet and outlet of the wetland to evaluate the performance of the system.
