Proposta de implantação de wetlands flutuantes em trecho do rio Belém para tratamento de águas pluviais e do rio

Abstract

This research aims to make a general analysis of constructed wetlands techniques in urban rivers. Seeking the applicability of these systems for the direct treatment of storm water discharged into the river Belém and indirectly itself. Currently urban rivers have become obsolete in order to have their environmental services lost. Rivers that originate in Curitiba or passes through the urban area are highly polluted due to the release of clandestine sewage, diffuse pollution and solid waste releases directly into water bodies. The research aims to identify the possibilities for environmental regeneration, especially the improvement of water quality, the social development of surrounding areas of the river, and also identify appropriate possibilities for the reality of the place. In order to do so, we used the literature on the subject, visits and photographic records of the selected area, as well as the review of cases with floating wetlands that used new technologies obtaining efficient and viable results. At the end of this research, a proposal for implementation of the wetlands system in river Belém was presented to indicate guidelines adapted to the reality of Curitiba. As bring forward the benefits and difficulties in system implementation.
