Abstract
Constructed wetlands are technologies that take advantage of the purification capacity of vegetation and the ability to improve the quality and condition of water bodies, which is known as phytoremediation. The applications in the treatment of water from different sources are wide. Within this range of applications, Floating Artificial Wetlands (HAF) stand out as innovative solutions with a greater treatment potential than other conventional phytoremediation methods. This work presents the possible advantages of its implementation in urban rivers, especially in Panama City. HAFs, resemble micro ecosystems and are recommended as green alternatives for the treatment of polluted rivers with the consequent improvement of life quality for inhabitants and the environment.
