Which Plants are Best Suited for Floating Treatment Wetlands?

Floating Treatment Wetlands FAQ /

Floating Treatment Wetlands are underpinned by the right combination of technology and nature. Interlocking floating modules, engineered planting baskets and modular frameworks are the backbone of these systems – but the nature-based engine behind them is driven by plant selection and growth. Selecting the right plant species is one of the most important decisions in […]

Retrofitting Stormwater Infrastructure with Floating Wetlands

Floating Treatment Wetlands, Stormwater Infrastructure /

One of the most significant advantages of Floating Treatment Wetlands for municipalities, councils, and local developments, is their retrofit capability. Floating Treatment Wetlands don’t replace stormwater infrastructure – they add additional treatment capability and upgrade it.  Natural wetlands are some of the most effective water filtration systems on the planet. They absorb excess nutrients, trap sediment, filter out pollutants, and support enormous biodiversity. Urbanisation

Floating Wetlands: Economic Benefits vs. Traditional Constructed Wetlands

Floating Treatment Wetlands /

Floating treatment wetlands cost less to create, install faster, and require less land take than traditional constructed wetlands — here’s some key differences in their economic impacts. Constructing a traditional wetland requires land acquisition, earthworks, grading, planting, and an extended establishment period before the system reaches full performance. The costs add up quickly — especially

Floating Wetlands: Nature-Based Solutions for Miami Canals

Case Studies, Stormwater Infrastructure /

Florida’s canals are one of the state’s defining features — hundreds of miles of urban waterways winding through neighbourhoods, connecting communities, and draining into coastal ecosystems that include Biscayne Bay and the greater Everglades watershed. They’re also one of the state’s most persistent environmental challenges. Stormwater runoff carries nutrients, sediment, and invasive plant species into

Wetlands Based Pollution Removal: How do Floating Wetlands Work?

Floating Treatment Wetlands /

A Floating Treatment Wetland — often called an FTW — is a platform of connected floating modules planted with wetland grasses, rushes, and native plants. These nature-based solutions are floating platforms that allow planted vegetation to grow on the surface of existing ponds, retention basins, canals, estuaries, rivers, streams and lakes.
