IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF AGRICULTURAL DRAINAGE WATER TREATMENT USING CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS

Abstract

The paper has improved the method of increasing the efficiency of cleaning agricultural drainage water from agrochemical products using artificial wetlands and floating higher aquatic plants. The method of wastewater treatment and control of pollution parameters includes the use of artificial wetlands in which wastewater is treated under aerobic conditions by microorganisms on the root system of higher aquatic plants, the formation of multispectral images of higher aquatic plants, analysis of multispectral images, indirect measurement of the ratio between carotenoids and chlorophyll in higher aquatic plants using regression equations. At the same time, during the operation of an artificial wetland, a layer of floating higheraquatic plants is periodically replaced with new plants, the withdrawn contaminated biomass of higher aquatic plants is dried, briquetted and used as fuel.
