The first experiments on the use of wetland plants to treat wastewaters were carried out in the early 1950s by Dr. Käthe Seidel in Germany and the first full-scale systems were put into operation during the late 1960s. Since then, the subsurface systems have been commonly used in Europe while free water surface systems have been more popular in North America and Australia. During the 1970s and 1980s, the information on constructed wetland technology spread slowly. But since the 1990 s the technology has become international, facilitated by exchange among scientists and researchers around the world. Because of the need for more effective removal of ammonia and total nitrogen, during the 1990 s and 2000s vertical and horizontal flow constructed wetlands were combined to complement each other to achieve higher treatment efficiency. Today, constructed wetlands are recognized as a reliable wastewater treatment technology and they represent a suitable solution for the treatment of many types of wastewater.
最早的湿地植物处理废水的实验始于 20 世纪 50 年代，由德国的 Käthe Seidel 博士开展，而第一套全规模系统则于 20 世纪 60 年代后期投入运行。从那时起，地下系统在欧洲得到了广泛应用，而自由水面系统则在北美和澳大利亚更为流行。在 20 世纪 70 年代和 80 年代，人工湿地技术的信息传播缓慢。但自 20 世纪 90 年代以来，这项技术已在全球范围内得到推广，这得益于世界各地的科学家和研究人员之间的交流。由于需要更有效地去除氨和总氮，在 20 世纪 90 年代和 21 世纪初，垂直流和水平流人工湿地相互结合，以互补的方式实现更高的处理效率。如今，人工湿地被认为是一种可靠的废水处理技术，是处理多种类型废水的合适解决方案。
