Wastewater garden

Wastewater garden

Wastewater garden is an artificial garden which consists of thirsty plants, such as bamboo, or local plants that are adapted to wetland conditions that are fed by wastewater. Plants take out the toxic material in the water and create clean water for irrigation and other non-drinking applications. There is no odor from the system because the sewage is never exposed to the air.
