Abstract / Summary:

This Industry Report is one of a series prepared by the CRC for Catchment Hydrology to help provide agencies and consultants in the Australian land and water-use industry with improved ways of managing catchments.

Through this series of reports and other forms of technology transfer, industry is now able to benefit from the Centre
s high quality, comprehensive research on salinity, forest hydrology, waterway management, urban hydrology and flood hydrology.

This particular Report represents a major collaboration between the CRC for Catchment Hydrology and the CRC for Freshwater Ecology, and presents key findings from a number of wetland research projects. (More detailed explanations and research findings from these projects can be found in a separate series of Research Reports and Working Documents published by the two Centres.) This second edition includes a new section, Appendix A, which answers a number of common questions on the use of constructed wetlands in stormwater management.

The CRC welcomes feedback on the work reported here, and is keen to discuss opportunities for further collaboration with industry to expedite the process of getting research outcomes into practice.

This report is available for downloading. Printed copies can be purchased from the Centre Office
