In the Green Building presentation that my group did I forgot to mention a bit on a new type of sustainable sewage system called Reed Bed. Below are my notes from my power point presenation:
§Reconstructions of freshwater wetland ecosystems to treat wastewater. Used with pre-existing settling or septic tank to treat liquid waste
§Land-intensive but highly energy efficient, inexpensive, low maintenance, aesthetically appealing and create natural habitat for wildlife
§Clean water can be used to water landscapes or crops but is not suitable for drinking water
§A typical cost for single house is between 3,000 and 7,000 pounds
