Due to lack of funds and the special geographic position, domestic sewage couldn´t connect inconveniently with the sewage treatment network , resulting in untreated domestic wastewaters being discharged directly and polluting the rivers and lakes. Although the constructed wetlands (CWs) were characterized by low-maintenance, simple and reliable operation, low construction and operation cost, high removal efficiencies and energy demands, there were some disadvantages of lower loads, covering the larger areas, being clogged easily and shorter operational periods. Therefore, the author proposed a new constructed wetland which named the stable surface flow wetland (SSFW). It had a very important practical significance to deepen the research of the decentralized sewage treatment technology and promote the new countryside construction. In this study, the concept and significance of SSFW were introduced, and the pollutant removal mechanism of SSFW was analyzed. Meanwhile, the pollutant removal efficiency of SSFW and the pushing stable surface flow wetland (PSSFW) were compared. Additionally, the existent problem and research direction of SSFW were discussed.
