摘要
Passive (wetland) treatment of waters draining abandoned and derelict mine sites has a number of detractions. Detailed knowledge of many of the fundamental processes that dictate the performance and longevity of constructed systems is currently very limited and therefore more research effort is needed before passive treatment becomes an "off-the-shelf" technology. © 2003 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
