摘要

Constructed wetlands are environmental solutions that mitigate the impacts of urban effluents. It is unclear how the performance of these wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) is affected by climatic conditions. The dissipation of nutrients, suspended solids, and changes in dissolved oxygen were investigated on a monthly basis over two years (2018/2019) at six sampling points across a WWTP located in Esquel, Patagonia. It was predicted that climatic variables (rain pattern and air temperature) would affect the functioning and efficiency of the WWTP (i.e., via nutrient load mitigation and sediment retention). Rainfall and temporal patterns differed markedly between and throughout the two years, leading to a clear seasonality in the transformation of pollutants. Nitrate loads were significantly higher in 2018 than in 2019 suggesting some degree of operational failure, whereas ammonia levels in treated effluents were extremely high during both years, with marked peaks occurring during autumn 2018 and summer 2019. The WWTP was moderately successful (similar to 36%) in reducing TSS contents during 2018 but was inefficient in 2019. Ammonia levels in receiving waters underwent dilution due to rains rather than due to adequate WWTP nutrient retention. In terms of nutrients, effluent values exceeded those established by governmental regulation during most months, but worsened during summer coinciding with low flows. This lack of predictability for the values of the treated effluent strongly jeopardizes the ecological integrity and biodiversity of the receiving stream.
