Constructed Wetlands:
Application of a Green Treatment Technology
Tim Noack, P.E.
Principal
Alan Plummer Associates, Inc.
Wetlands, an ages-old method to purify water, are gaining in popularity as water conservation and reuse issues become more critical. Constructed wetlands, which mimic natural systems, are simple, inexpensive and environmentally friendly. Compared to conventional treatment methods, they tend to cost less to build and have low operating and maintenance expenses.
In this presentation, Tim Noack describes how constructed wetlands can provide secondary and tertiary treatment of municipal and industrial wastewaters and augment water supply reservoirs. He will also provide examples of some of the constructed wetlands projects he has helped to design.
Tim Noack, P.E., has 30 years of engineering experience, with 18 years in the water and wastewater industry. Tim holds a BS in Agricultural Engineering from Texas Tech University and did graduate work in Environmental Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington. Tim is a registered professional engineer in four states and is active in several professional organizations.
