Abstract
Limited water resources and ensuring access to clean water confront the world with critical environmental challenges. In highly industrialized countries, such as china, the rate of water pollution is high, leading to a shortage of fresh water needed for human consumption. In that respect, large scale centralized wastewater treatment systems are considered a characteristic of highly industrialized countries, and for long have been regarded as an extremely successful approach in the wastewater treatment. Despite the availability of this approach in China, the country has continued to experience freshwater shortage and deterioration. This study reviewed freshwater resources and pollution of water resources, the rate of wastewater generation and treatment, wastewater treatment plants and wastewater treatment technologies used in China, especially sanitation conditions and wastewater management in rural China. In addition, the study explored wastewater treatment by the constructed wetlands in China.
Keywords Constructed wetland, China, pollution, wastewater, WWTPs.
