The Nature Conservancy - Dominican Republic : Artificial wetlands, a nature based solution for waste water treatment

Abstract

Kristen Maize and Carlos García discuss using constructed wetlands in the Dominican Republic to provide wastewater treatment. Taber Hand, from Wetlands Work, explains the development and implementation of HandyPods, a container-based system created to serve floating villages or floodplains. Both guest speakers share what conditions make these solutions effective and lessons they have learned through their work. This video podcast is part of a series of online activities and events dedicated to identifying solutions for ocean wastewater pollution.
