Abstract:

This article explores several alternative approaches to wastewater control today, using a conceptual design for a small distributed constructed wetland system to explain how various strategies can be to help advance the long-term sustainability of future metropolitan wastewater control systems. These strategies can be viewed as tools in the toolbox of a wastewater system designer, to be mixed and matched by an interdisciplinary team of experts to best address the site-specific needs of a particular situation. By proposing one possible configuration of a distributed, adaptive, natural management system for local reuse with multiple benefits in the well-known city of Kaohsiung, this article hopes to explain the feasibility of these increasingly popular ideas, to inspire more interdisciplinary and innovative metropolitan wastewater scenery in the future.
