The use of natural systems such as wetlands constructed in the treatment of wastewater has become increasingly important due the ability of these systems to remove large amounts of macronutrients and microorganisms and to promote the degradation of organic matter. Given this background, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of an experimental constructed wetland horizontal flow system subsurface cultivated with Zantedeschia aethiopica filled with sand and gravel substrates. The parameters were evaluated by the characterization of physicochemical and microbiological indicators of wastewater from the septic tank of the State University of Goiás in Anápolis city, Goiás, Brazil. The reductions of macronutrients ranged from 57.9 to 94.7%, and 87.0 to 91.0% for organic matter. In addition, a significant reduction in coliform levels in wastewater was observed after wetland treatment. It was concluded that the constructed wetland system could be proposed to treat wastewater from septic tanks at both secondary and tertiary levels, due to its high percentage efficiency in the removal of organic matter and macronutrients. The results obtained demonstrated the applicability of the studied system to be used as a versatile, sustainable, and economical treatment of effluents complementary to the septic tank treatment system.
