Abstract
The use of land application as a means for wastewater treatment dates back to the ancient Greek, and reached its peak during the 19th century, before being replaced for currently conventional treatment plants. A vegetation filter is a type of land application system in which a forestry plantation is irrigated with pre-treated or treated wastewater for its treatment. The main aim of this project is to assess the viability of a poplar short rotation coppice in terms of wastewater treatment, using wastewaters from a local brewery for irrigation. To test the adequacy of different poplar genotypes for this specific scenario, a hydroponic experiment was carried out. We evaluated several plant development parameters and analysed the quality of wastewater before and after its use on the system. Here we present the detailed methodology and some preliminary results, as well as the currently and ongoing research on this project.
