Wetland Garden Concept 2010


Our vision is a “wetland garden“ comprising the following main elements:

3 Wetland garden

• A certain amount of wastewater e.g. 3000m³/d will be treated exclusively by


ecotechnologies, including stormwater and sewage sludge. The principal
methods being used (constructed wetlands) are explained on this homepage.
The clean effluents are partly reused for agricultural irrigation or disposed off
on vegetated leachfields.

• Another part of the treated wastewater should be used inside a recreation


(leisure) park feeding an aquatic plant and animal garden and will be used
finally for irrigation of trees, meadows, lawns and agricultural crops (e.g.
orchards).

• Other methods of ecological engineering (e.g. photovoltaics, windturbines,


vegetated green roofs, ecological sanitation, rainwater harvesting and
mudbrick buildings should be demonstrated as examples.

• Targets:

o There will be a large-scale biotope-complex, a habitat for plants and


animals

o There will be a leisure park for the public

o There will be an information center about sustainable green


technologies

o The presented methods of ecological engineering will be used for


education of university students

This basic concept has been worked out for internal use at Blumberg-
Engineers. Who shares our vision and is willing to invest approximately 12,5
Million € for a realization?

4 Wetland garden

Some of the projects we (the German Ecological Engineering Society IÖV) already
realized with our Chinese partner company Dehua in the region of Shanghai partly do
express the character of a wetland garden. They consist of cascades of vertical and
horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands, sewage sludge treatment wetlands
and polishing lagoons.

7 Wetland garden

Plants for nutrition should be part of a wetland garden. We used successfully


bananas, sugarcane and vetiver-grass in one of our constructed wetlands in Vietnam
treating high strength wastewater from starch producing tapioca industry.

8 Wetland garden

Besides functionality a wetland garden should be integrated aesthetically into given


garden and landscape structures as we have realized it at a senior residence in
Mexico City, where the wastewater after treatment in constructed wetlands is reused
for park irrigation.

9 Wetland garden

In Changshu we will realize in 2012 a six ha constructed wetland complex with


several types of artificial wetlands for wastewater treatment of an industrial park
effluent. In our design we combine treatment efficiency aspects with items of
landscape architecture according to the basic principle ‘form follows function’.
