Wastewater treatment is the process of removing contaminants and pollutants from domestic, municipal, or industrial wastewater to make it safe for environmental discharge. Plants play a critical role in this process through phytoremediation and constructed wetland systems, where they absorb excess nutrients, filter contaminants, and support microbial processes that break down pollutants. This application demonstrates how plants' natural metabolic capabilities can be leveraged to address water quality challenges at scale.
