ABSTRACT: Using NaCl tracer tests, hydraulic performance of constructed wetlands for different in/
outlet configuration, inflow rate and granular size were calculated based on correlations among the reten-
tion time. Meanwhile, visualization tests were performed by using dye stuff. High contrast ratio images
were processed by Matlab software and the distribution and area of active zones ...
