Abstract
Constructed wetlands have been widely applied as filtering tools to treat polluted water in various water treatment systems worldwide (Gaballah et al., 2024). Based on the flow passing routine, the constructed wetland (CW) can be classified as free-surface flow constructed wetland (FSFCW) or subsurface flow constructed wetland (SFCW). The FSFCW has significant benefits, being lowenergy- consuming, and being cost-effective in construction and management (Vymazal, 2010). In this way, it has been widely applied across different local environmental conditions, from tropical to cold climates, to treat polluted water from both urban and agricultural sources (Terzakis et al., 2008; Kynkäänniemi, 2014).
