<title>Unclogging the future of waste water treatment</title>
<description>The School of Engineering &amp; Applied Science has hosted a two-day international workshop about clogging in constructed wetlands. Otherwise known as reedbeds, constructed wetlands are an ideal method for treating wastewater from small communities. They use no electricity and can remove several types of pollutants including organic material, phosphates and heavy metals. The result is water of high quality that can be safely discharged into rivers.</description>
