Article Synopsis
- In the Mediterranean region, water scarcity negatively impacts stream water quality, particularly below wastewater treatment plants (WWTP).
- The study examined four helophyte species to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing dissolved inorganic nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from WWTP effluents over an 11-month period.
- Results showed that the highest concentrations of N and P occurred in different plant parts, with Iris pseudoacorus being the most efficient in retaining nutrients, suggesting helophytes could help improve water quality in ecosystems affected by wastewater.
