ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for treating waste water including a waste water basin and a number of wetland plants in floating containers adapted to float on the surface of waste water in the waste water basin such that the root systems of the wetland plants treat the waste water. The floating containers are constructed so that they retain soil and/or another particulate solid required to sustain and nourish the wetland plants and also so that they permit the root systems of the wetland plants to grow outwardly into the waste water to be treated. The root systems produce aerobic zones within the waster water in the waste water basin. The extent of the growth of the root systems is controlled, preferably by an adjustable platform associated with each floating container, so that the aerobic and anaerobic zones within the waste water basin are controlled and can be adjusted or varied as required.
