The urban water bodies in tropical developing countries are the worst victim of domestic wastewater / sewage, basically because of the widening gap between the increasing waste water generation and unavailability of commensurating economical resources to address the issue through conventional technologies. Hence, biological machines may prove to be a novel tool for sustainable management of water bodies. Rootzone technology being natural biological systems operating solely on solar energy is low cost and almost negligible operation and maintenance. The paper under reference therefore is an attempt to evaluate the performance efficiency of a field scale Horizontal Subsurface Flow constructed Wetland/Rootzone demonstration unit was constructed by Environmental Planning & Coordination Organisation (EPCO) at Ekant Park, Bhopal as an economically and ecologically viable pilot project.
