System Specifications
A New Standard in Constructed Floating Wetlands
Clarity Aquatic patented floating wetlands were developed by leading floating wetland specialists, Dr Christopher Walker and Dr Terry Lucke. Having spent years working with nature-based green infrastructure solutions, Chris and Terry understand the need for constructed floating wetland (CFW) systems that are sustainable, long lasting, easy to maintain, flexible and easy to use, and able to perform under a broad range of environmental conditions. The Clarity Aquatic CFW system was developed to meet these needs.
