Résumé:
Urban, industrial, as well as rural sewage, together with the intensive agricultural
activities have contributed to significant increment of organic compounds presence in the environment
degradation. This statement reinforces the necessity of developing new technologies applied to water
use and administration. The objective of this research work was to monitoring vertical flow wetland
systems (VFWS) having a gravel bed with a macrophita Typha sp supported for domestic sewage
treatment, discarded at the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering at UNICAMP. Flux was recorded at
each hour, from 9:00 AM to 18:00 PM from 02/01/06 to 02/23/06. VFWS method exhibited 2.5m3,
0.55m depth, 4.66 m2 of área and a population of 240 plants. Evapotranspiration data from the VFWS
was obtained from flux recording. These dates have been correlated to average defict of pressure of
satured vapor (DPSV) data. Obtained data allows concluding that metheorologic factors and mainly
the DPSV factor directly affect the evapotranspiration which induces the sewage nutrient withdraw.
