The Perennial Killer: A Gardening Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
Towns and cities in various parts of the country use marshlands as an alternative to traditional treatment plants. They find it costs less to set up than a conventional system, saves them money on chemicals, and creates a beautiful nature preserve for waterfowl and other wildlife. The technology has been tailored to the needs of homes, businesses, small communities, schools, rest areas, towns and cities, and even Coors Field in Denver. The largest wetlands system is in Orlando, Florida, and treats twenty million gallons of waste water per day. It is used as an open-space park. It is a perfect solution for a homeowner who is building on clay, where an efficient leach field would be difficult. An idea straight from the marsh. This concept of water treatment comes straight from the marsh, which, like prairies and forests, is a self-organizing, self-maintaining system. Plants and microbes that grow in watery environments remove the contaminants from water by breaking them down into non-toxic forms.
