Humedales para tratamiento es el septimo volumen de la serie
"Tratamiento biologico de aguas residuales" (en ingles "Biological
Waste Water Treatment Series"), que provee una presentacion de
vanguardia sobre la ciencia y tecnologia del tratamiento de aguas
residuales. Los principales tipos de sistemas de humedales son
tratados en este volumen, a saber: (i) Humedales de flujo
subsuperficial horizontal, (ii) Humedales de flujo vertical; (iii)
Humedales de flujo vertical tipo frances; (iv) Humedales
intensificados; (v) Humedales de flujo libre; (vi) otras
aplicaciones de los humedales para tratamiento. El libro presenta
en forma clara y didactica, los conceptos basicos, los principios
de la tecnologia, desempenos esperados, criterios de diseno,
ejemplos de diseno, aspectos constructivos y guias para la
operacion. El libro ha sido escrito en su version inglesa, y
traducido al castellano, por un equipo internacional de expertos en
el campo de los humedales para tratamiento.
Water quality standards across the world are being re-written to
promote healthier ecosystems, ensure safe potable water sources,
increased biodiversity, and enhanced ecological functions.
Treatment wetlands are used for treating a variety of pollutant
waters, including municipal wastewater, agricultural and urban
runoff, industrial effluents, and combined sewer overflows, among
others. Treatment wetlands are particularly well-suited for
sustainable water management because they can cope with variable
influent loads, can be constructed of local materials, have low
operations and maintenance requirements compared to other treatment
technologies, and they can provide additional ecosystem services.
The technology has been successfully implemented in both developed
and developing countries. The first IWA Scientific and Technical
Report (STR) on Wetland Technology was published in 2000. With the
exponential development of the technology since then, the
generation of a new STR was facilitated by the IWA Task Group on
Mainstreaming Wetland Technology. This STR was conceptualized and
written by leading experts in the field. The new report presents
the latest technology applications within an innovative planning
framework of multi-purpose wetland design. It also includes
practical design information collected from over twenty years of
experience from practitioners and academics, covering experiments
at laboratory and pilot-scale up to full-scale applications.
Scientific and Technical Report No.27
Los estandares de calidad del agua alrededor del mundo estan siendo
actualizados para garantizar ecosistemas saludables, asegurar
recursos hidricos para potabilizacion, incrementar la
biodiversidad, y mejorar las funciones ecologicas. Los humedales
para tratamiento son utilizados para depurar una variedad de aguas
residuales o contaminadas, lo que incluye, aguas residuales
municipales, escorrentia agricola y urbana, efluentes industriales,
y efluentes de los vertederos de excesos en alcantarillados
combinados, entre otros. Los humedales para tratamiento son
particularmente adecuados para la gestion sostenible del agua
porque pueden manejar cargas variables en los afluentes, pueden ser
construidos con materiales locales, tienen pocos requerimientos de
operacion y mantenimiento en comparacion a otras tecnologias, y
pueden proveer servicios ecosistemicos adicionales. La tecnologia
ha sido exitosamente implementada en paises desarrollados y en vias
de desarrollo. El primer Reporte Cientifico y Tecnologico (STR, por
sus siglas del ingles, Scientific and Technical Report) sobre la
tecnologia de humedales fue publicado en el 2000. Con el desarrollo
exponencial de la tecnologia desde entonces, la generacion de un
nuevo STR fue desarrollada por el Grupo de trabajo de la IWA sobre
la integracion de la tecnologia de humedales (IWA Task Group on
Mainstreaming Wetland Technology). Este STR fue conceptualizado y
escrito, junto con su traduccion al castellano, por expertos
lideres en la materia. Este nuevo reporte presenta las ultimas
aplicaciones de la tecnologia dentro de un marco de planificacion
innovador del diseno de humedales para multiples propositos.
Tambien, incluye informacion practica para el diseno recolectada a
partir de 20 anos de experiencias de profesionales y academicos,
que abarca experimentos a escala de laboratorio, piloto y real.

The ebook edition of this title is freely available as an Open
Access text. Treatment Wetlands is the seventh volume in the
Biological Wastewater Treatment series, which gives a
state-of-the-art presentation of the science and technology of
sewage treatment. The major variants of wetland systems are covered
in this volume, namely: (i) horizontal flow wetlands; (ii) vertical
flow wetlands; (iii) French vertical flow wetlands; (iv)
intensified wetlands; (v) free water surface wetlands; (vi) other
applications of treatment wetlands. The book presents in a clear
and didactic way the main concepts, working principles, expected
performance, design criteria, design examples, construction aspects
and operational guidelines. The book has been written by an
international team of top experts in the field of treatment
wetlands.
The book addresses urban transformations towards sustainability in
light of challenges of global urbanization processes and the
consequences of global environmental change. The aim is to show
that urban transformations only succeed if both innovative
scientific solutions and practice-oriented governance approaches
are developed. This assumption is addressed by providing
theoretical insights and empirical evidence pointing particularly
at 3 concepts or qualities which are determined here as being
central for achieving urban sustainability: resource efficiency,
quality of life and resilience. Urban case studies from several
international research projects illustrate our conceptual approach
of urban transformations towards sustainable development. Thus, the
book reaches far beyond a mere additive description of single case
studies. It incorporates the results of condensed synthesis,
resulting from comparisons and evaluations. It provides, based on
cross-cutting reflection of single cases and different scales and
methods of analysis, general and transferable findings. They do not
only consider the scientific sphere but deliberately go beyond it
discussing transferability of knowledge into practice, governance
options and the feasibility of policy strategies in order to pave
the way for sustainable urban transformations to happen today and
in the future.
