Abstract
Root Zone technology has varied application wherever a low-tech low maintenance approach is desirable to pollution problems. The intricacy of micro organisms and their reactions in the root zone of the plants result in cleansing process. Reed bed treatment systems comprise self contained engineered ecosystem that utilize particular combination of plants, soil, bacteria optimize the physical, chemical and biological processes present within the root zone. The paper discusses about the method of installing root zone and planting techniques according to the desired level of pollutants.
