Abstract

Constructed wetlands, which may be one method of managing agriculture wastewaters are ecologically engineered systems that are akin to natural wetland systems that are built using quantitative approaches, founded on basic ecological principles. Phragmites karka is predominant species used in constructed wetland. The water quality of inlet and outlet of water discharged from livestock effluent to the Vertical Flow Subsurface Constructed Wetland (VFSSCW) it will be treated by roots of Phragmites karka plant. Different physical, chemical and biological parameters were evaluated for the assessment of water quality. Physical parameter such conductivity, salinity were decreases while chemical and biological parameters such as phosphorus total nitrogen BOD also reduced in treated outlet water. Experiments were conducted in the consecutive three season i.e. Rainy (July to October), Winter (November to February) and Summer (March to June) of one year.

Key Words   
Livestock effluent, Phragmites karka, Constructed wetlands
