Wastewater is any used water generated either from industrial and domestic activities. The quality of wastewater usually above the standard limits which requires further treatment to improve its characteristics before being discharge into the environment. Hybrid reed bed system is one of the green- biological treatment approach to remediate contaminated water.

The biological method highlights the employment of plant and microorganisms which makes this process environmentally friendly. Therefore, the writing of this book covers the biological processes involved in phytotechnology as well as the contribution of bacteria in the rhizosphere in the decontamination process.

The phytotechnology performances involving combination of reed beds enhances pollutant removal efficiency as hybrid CWs could cover the limitation of each single CWs. HRBCW has been proven to be effective for domestic wastewater treatment and can be suitably applied for small community. Additionally, this perhaps can be a model to be implemented by any sectors.
