Constructed wetlands are shallow pools developed specifically for storm or waste water treatment that create growing conditions suitable for wetland plants. Constructed wetlands differ from other artificial wetlands in that they are not typically intended to replace all of the functions of natural wetlands. Rather, they are designed to provide water quality benefits by minimising point source and nonpoint source pollution prior to its entry into streams, natural wetlands, and other receiving waters. They can also play a water quantity management role.
