Abstract

In
recent years, the depleting water
resources in response to the increasing need for water along with increase in
population have led researchers to search new water resources. Among these
sources, the most spectacular one is the use of polluted waters after
treatment. One of the alternative methods for the treatment of wastewaters is
constructed wetlands. This treatment mechanism is preferred due to its
effectiveness in the removal of pollution and pathogen microorganisms as well
as its economic contribution. Constructed wetlands are widely used in regions
with warm climates, while in cold climate conditions, low temperatures result
in decreased treatment efficiency. In this study, the
use of constructed wetlands in cold
climate conditions has been reviewed and necessary suggestions reported.

Yapay Sulak Alanlarında Atık Su Arıtımı ve Soğuk İklime Sahip Bölgelerde Kullanım Önerileri

Abstract

Son yıllarda, nüfus artışıyla birlikte su ihtiyacındaki artışa karşın
azalan su kaynakları, insanoğlunu yeni su kaynakları arayışına yöneltmektedir.
Bu kaynaklar arasında da en göze çarpanı çeşitli yollarla kirletilmiş suları
arıtarak kullanmaktır. Atık suyun arıtımı için alternatif yöntemlerden biri de
yapay sulak alanlardır. Bu arıtım mekanizması ekonomik katkının yanında
kirlilik ve patojen mikroorganizma gideriminde de etkili olmasından dolayı
tercih edilmektedir. Yapay sulak alanlar ılıman ve sıcak iklime sahip yerleşim
yerlerinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Soğuk iklim koşullarında ise
özellikle düşük sıcaklık nedeniyle arıtımın verimliliği düşmektedir. Bu
çalışmada da soğuk iklim koşullarında kullanımı için yapılması gerekenler
incelemiş ve öneriler verilmiştir.
