The main indicator of efficiencywas the elimination of suspended solids, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus from thewastewater during filtration. The elimination of the pollution load was 2-25 g per squaremeter per day for the BOD5 and 0--3.5 g per square meter per day for total nitrogen. Rates ofpollution removal were between 2 and 4 times as high in bed Bas in bed A. The rate ofBOD5 removal and the coefficient k for BOD5 were strongly dependent on temperature for reed bedB; less so far for bed A.

Physical and chemical properties of Reed rootfelt of lakeZebras were investigated to evaluate possibilities for rootfelt usage in constructed wetlands.The Reed rootfelt coalesces with the ground in coastal zone and is floating in the deeper areasof lake. Thickness of floating reed rootfelt layer varies from 0.25 to 0.8 m. Density (withoutgravitational water) of reed rootfelt varies from 550 kg/ml at a surface to 1058 kg/m' indeeper layers if the rootfelt coalesces with ground. Investigated average density is 505 kg/mland 814 kg/ml for floated overgrowth and rootfelt coalesced with ground respectively. Themoisture content (without gravitational water, dry basis) of freshly removed floated rootfeltchanges from 523 % at a surface to 706 % in deeper layer. If rootfelt was dried and moistenedonce more, moisture content remain practically same at a surface (498 %) and decreases 3times in deeper layer (226 %).

Acceptable technology for rootfelt removal includes partitioning of overgrowthin pieces and/or layers by manually operated or powered cutters and floating of pieces ofrootfelt to coastal stockpile. Pre-treatment of rootfelt includes washing out of inorganicsediments, draining of the excess (gravitational) water and drying slightly only, to preservegrowing ability of rootfelt.
