Application of magnetic field for sewage purification using constructed wetland planted with water hyacinth

Nowadays, rapid growths in the urbanization process have caused an environmental problem which is sewage generation. Untreated sewage will threaten aquatic life and destroy the aquatic ecosystem when it released without proper treatment. To address this problem, a system called wetland system enhanc...
