Abstract:
This thesis presents the implementation of a constructed wetland system for a student hostel of 2250 students (Younus Khan Scholar's Garden-2), located in Ashulia, within Daffodil Smart City. The main aim of this project is to create an environmentally sustainable approach to wastewater treatment, in accordance with the principles of ecological integrity and resource conservation. The system is specifically designed for purifying the waste water discharged from the hostel to tackle the local water pollution challenges by employing natural mechanisms for water filtration and purification. The thesis explores the theoretical framework of wetland design, presents comprehensive calculations and schematics, and assesses the anticipated environmental and socio-economic advantages. Furthermore, the research investigates the feasibility of integrating the constructed wetland into the surrounding landscape, thereby enhancing both the aesthetic and ecological significance of Younus Scholar's Garden-2. Approximately 1275 m2 area is needed for constructing the wetland.By utilizing native plant species and locally available materials, the project seeks to minimize operational expenses while fostering local biodiversity. The results of this study indicate that constructed wetlands can serve as a cost-effective and sustainable method for wastewater treatment, thereby improving water quality and advancing the objectives of environmental stewardship in urban environments.
