A medium-scale pilot system (vertical/reverse-vertical flow constructed wetland) for the treatment of domestic wastewater was established in the greening belt of the resi-dential district in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China. Dur-ing the whole monitoring period the average values of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen (TN), ammonia nitrogen (NH4-N), total phosphorus (TP) and turbidity (TURB) were found to be 94.79%, 76.34%, 86.62%, 71.58% 90.76% and 95.94%.
