Welcome and invitation In the last years, Latin America increased the use of treatment wetlands, which are currently in operation in different countries. This technology has an important implementation in the depuration of sanitary, industrial and agricultural effluents, among others. The research is directed towards finding the optimal design for best results according to the effluent to be treated. This conference is organized by “Facultad de Ingeniería Química-Universidad Nacional del Litoral” (Argentina), in collaboration with “Instituto Mexicano de Tecnología del Agua” (Mexico), “Aarhus University (Denmark)”, and “Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira” (Colombia), to provide a platform for natural and constructed wetlands researchers and practitioners to exchange knowledge. Abstract submission NEW:

The deadline for abstract submission is extended until February 24, 2016. The abstract must be two pages extension, including title, authors, abstract, tables and figures. A submission template is available in the conference website: www.fiq.unl.edu.ar/conferenciahumedales2016 Work presentation during the conference: The works can be presented as oral presentation and posters. The selected oral presentations, the authors will have 15 minutes for the presentation followed by 5 minutes for questions from the audience. The posters must be in vertical format with a size of 0.80 x 0.60 m. The manuscripts should be included in some of the following specific sessions:

1. Treatment wetlands for sanitary and municipal effluents. 2. Treatment wetlands for industrial and agricultural effluents. 3. Contaminant and nutrient dynamics in treatment and natural wetlands. 4. Metals, metalloids and emergent contaminants. 5. Design and operation strategies of treatment wetlands. 6. Modeling of contaminant and hydraulic dynamics in treatment wetlands. 7. The role of plants in treatment wetlands. 8. Case studies
