Floating Wetlands Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Wastewater Lagoons

September 11th, 2026 • A two-year Australian trial found that floating wetlands planted with native reeds and sedges reduced greenhouse gas emissions from a wastewater lagoon by 22% to 31% on a CO₂-equivalent basis. The findings suggest that nature-based systems could help water utilities cut methane and nitrous oxide emissions while improving wastewater quality without major infrastructure changes.
