Technology No. CW-23-59

The Wetlands Geoprocessor stands as a pivotal tool for stakeholders in environmental management, agriculture, urban planning, and conservation, providing an unparalleled capability to analyze and estimate the effectiveness and costs of implementing surface flow constructed wetlands for water purification.

Constructed wetlands serve as vital components in efforts to purify water, mitigate pollution, and enhance biodiversity. However, quantifying their potential impact and associated costs remains a challenge, hindering widespread adoption and optimization. The Wetlands Geoprocessor addresses this gap by employing a comprehensive model that integrates advanced scientific equations and statistical models, offering precise evaluations of nitrate and orthophosphate load reductions alongside cost assessments for wetland construction.

Utilizing data and methodologies from leading research, the Wetlands Geoprocessor calculates the purification results of constructed wetlands based on various parameters including storage capacity, daily flow, and nutrient loading. The model provides a multifaceted analysis that includes not only mean estimates but also confidence intervals for purification efficiency and installation costs. This allows for a more detailed and nuanced planning process, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions based on specific environmental, community, and economic goals.
