Short summary
The potential of constructed wetland to remove nitrate and pesticides increases with the residence time. The aim of this work is to investigate how the hydraulic performance changes with the flow rate in a party vegetated wetland, using the 3D hydrodynamic model. It was calibrated on continuous outflow concentration and tracing experiment. The simulation matched satisfactorily with observation. Results showed a limited increase of the hydraulic performance with the flow rate.
