Supporting the deployment of wastewater treatment systems using vertical flow planted wetlands

ongoing

This regional project seeks to promote innovative practices and natural solutions for wastewater treatment in new pilot areas, based in particular on experiences in Martinique. It is particularly well-suited to tropical and island contexts. The goal is to deploy ‘ATTENTIVE’ technology, a wastewater treatment system using vertical flow constructed wetlands, in three Caribbean States (Saint Lucia, Dominica and Cuba).The project will involve technical and feasibility studies, knowledge transfer and exchanges on the results from the various pilot experiments. These units, which are smaller in size than existing treatment plants, will be tested and should produce faster feedback to advance the model.
