In view of the process of wastewater treatment of the wetlands, appropriate landscape structure of wetlands used for wastewater treatment is proposed which includes three sections as pre-treatment, wetlands and posttreatment. The discussion as well as conclusion is made upon the approaches of landscape construction of these three parts.展开更多
