Constructed wetland in an ecological settlement in Flintenbreite near Lübeck, Germany

A constructed wetland is an artificial wetland to clean sewage or other dirty water.[1][2] Constructed wetlands help clean wastewater. They are made to act like natural wetlands using plants, soil, and organisms to treat the water. These wetlands can be used after mining or to replace natural areas lost to development. The design depends on the type of wastewater. They can be used in big or small wastewater systems. It's best to do primary treatment first if there is a lot of solid or organic matter in the water..[3]
