Exceedance over EU Nitrate directive% in 2003-2004% in 2004-2005% in 2005-2006
Manure excess on soil balance
The Flanders situation
Intensive industrial farmingresults in localized nutrient (N,P)excesses at a regional level.
Similar situations in US (NC),France (Bretagne), Netherlands,Germany (Nord Westfalen), Italy,

“Intelligent design”: control in function of crucial monitoring parameters, feed forward & feedback loops

Cost per m3
‣Constructed wetlands were designed as an alternative for spreading manure
‧Surface: – In general: 1 m² / 1 m³ manure per year (~ 1 ha for 10.000 pigs)
– In practice: > 1 m² / 1 m³ manure
‧Cost (current systems): – 3,5-4,5 €/m³ (incl. operational and investment cost, period 10 year)
– After depreciation (10 years): 2,5-3,0 €/m³
‧Various additional break-throughs pending with impact on :
capacity (m3/m2.j) and hence cost per m3

Water scarcity & water re-use
‣sufficient water supply is one of the most important environmental and economical challenges in agriculture in the near future
‣use of purified water on the farm is scarce
‣is reuse of end effluent of constructed wetlands an option?

Conclusions
‣preliminary results indicate that effluent quality scores better than initially anticipated, both for the bacteriological as well as the physicochemical parameters.
‣even for high grade applications constraints for reuse were limited to parameters which are easy to address using simple polishing steps.
‣we expect that reuse of constructed wetland effluent in various applications will have important economical and environmental benefits.
