Constructed wetlands for pollutants and micropolluants removal (since 2005)

Constructed wetlands are considered as ecological engineering treatment wetlands used for urban and rural effleunts treatment. As knowledge developed in this field:

  • Constructed wetlands instrumentation and long term monitoring on field conditions,

  • Model development for understanding water flow, pollutant transport and bioremediation through porous media,

  • Automatic differentiation for sensitivity analysis,

  • Full scale tracer experiment

  • Micropollutant (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and drugs residues) removal

Soil phytoremediation (since 2015)

Soils pollution with hydrocarbons is on the increase, especially in developing countries like. Identifying plant species capable of growing on hydrocarbon-polluted soils remains an essential step in phytoremediation, a low cost, solar energy driven clean up technique in which living green plants are used. As knowledge developed in this field:

  • Methodology for floristic surveys to identify plants with phytoremediation capacities in hydrocarbon-polluted sites was developed and applied in 4 African cities.

  • Experimental protocol to investigate the phytoremediation potential of plant species on soil contaminated with fuel oil was developed and tested

Urban river restoration and stormwater treatment (Since 2010)

  • The Ostwaldergraben (Alsace/France) is a phreatic urban river of poor quality. The chemical and ecological good status of this river is scheduled for 2027. 

  • To reach this good status, the restoration of the river has been undertaken by the Urban Community of Strasbourg since 2010. 

  • To have a global approach, this project is completed with the installation of alternative treatment of urban runoffs coming from the separated sewer network of three residential urban watersheds. 

 

Sanitation Research Program: MAFADY PROJECT 2010 - 2014

MAFADY Mastering the sanitation chain from the household level in the coastal zone of Douala, and in the informal urban settlements of Yaoundé, Cameroon. The purpose of this project was to determine actions to undertake in the domains of sanitation, practices of the various actors, allowing the improvement of hygiene and human health not only in the coastal areas, but also in slum districts of the humid tropical large cities. In the domain of development, the project proposed tools and new mechanisms for concerted planning as far as sanitation on the level of large cities.
