Abstract

AbstractThe Burwarton Estate waste stabilization ponds, near Bridgnorth, Shropshire, serve a population of 150. There are three ponds in series: a facultative pond, and two equal maturation ponds, followed by two parallel and alternately used constructed wetland ditches. This paper describes the design of the ponds and reports upon their performance during the first two years of operation.
