Aqua-Created Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment | Canadian Shield Consultants Agency (CSCA)
At Canadian Shield Consultants Agency (CSCA), we design and implement Aqua-Created Wetland Systems that provide a natural and sustainable solution for wastewater treatment across Ontario. These innovative systems use the power of nature to effectively treat and purify wastewater before it is safely released into the environment.
Our constructed and natural wetlands harness a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove nutrients, metals, and contaminants from wastewater. By mimicking natural wetland functions, the Aqua Wetland System offers a reliable, low-maintenance, and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional wastewater treatment technologies.
In an Aqua-Created Wetland, wastewater flows through a vertical filtration system at a controlled pace, allowing wetland vegetation and microorganisms to naturally cleanse the water. This slow, steady treatment process ensures maximum nutrient uptake and pollutant removal before discharge, protecting Ontario’s lakes, rivers, and groundwater resources.
Whether for residential, commercial, or municipal applications, CSCA’s Aqua Wetland Systems deliver efficient, compliant, and sustainable wastewater management solutions tailored to your site’s unique needs.
Applications
- Food, brewery and winery processing waste
- Greenhouse, specialty crop discharge and runoff
- Aquaculture discharge
- Stormwater runoff
- Golf course
- Sanitary sewage
- Livestock wastewater
- Aggregate and mining washwater and runoff
- Landfill leachate
Benefits
- Technology is reliable, proven, and supported by many years of performance monitoring
- It has received government approval for installation and operation at many locations
- Requires very little energy to operate
- Insects, odour and other nuisance problems are not a factor as there is no standing water
- The system operates year-round

💧 Aqua Wetlands FAQs – Canadian Shield Consulting Agency, Ontario
Aqua-created wetland technology, also known as constructed wetlands, is a natural and sustainable method of treating wastewater using engineered wetland systems. These systems mimic natural wetlands by using plants, soil, and microorganisms to filter, absorb, and break down contaminants. Canadian Shield Consulting Agency designs and implements customized wetland systems for municipal, industrial, and residential clients across Ontario.
A constructed wetland works by passing wastewater through gravel, sand, and plant roots, where microbial processes and natural filtration remove pollutants such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended solids. Over time, clean, treated water is safely released into the environment or reused for irrigation or groundwater recharge.
There are several key benefits of using this technology, including:
Environmentally friendly wastewater treatment
Low operating and maintenance costs compared to traditional systems
Natural habitat creation for birds and aquatic life
Effective nutrient and contaminant removal
Aesthetic enhancement of landscapes and properties
Canadian Shield Consulting Agency integrates wetland technology into site-specific designs to support sustainable water management solutions across Ontario.
These systems are ideal for:
Rural communities and residential developments not connected to municipal sewers
Industrial and commercial sites
Agricultural operations (manure and runoff management)
Stormwater management projects
Municipal wastewater treatment facilities seeking sustainable upgrades
Canadian Shield Consulting Agency provides turnkey solutions for clients across Ontario, including Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston, and Northern Ontario regions.
Yes. Constructed wetlands are recognized by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) as an effective and sustainable wastewater treatment option. Our team at Canadian Shield Consulting Agency ensures all designs meet Ontario Building Code (OBC) and MECP environmental standards for compliance and performance.
Common types of constructed wetlands include:
Surface Flow Wetlands: Water flows over the soil surface among vegetation.
Subsurface Flow Wetlands: Wastewater flows beneath the surface through gravel and plant roots.
Hybrid Systems: Combine both types for improved treatment efficiency.
Canadian Shield Consulting Agency assesses your property and water quality goals to determine the most effective design for your project.
Construction timelines vary depending on the site size, soil conditions, and treatment goals, but most projects can be completed within a few months from design to operation. Canadian Shield Consulting Agency provides comprehensive project management, including site assessment, permitting, construction, and long-term monitoring.
Aqua-created wetlands are low-maintenance systems. Routine tasks include inspecting water flow, removing invasive plants, and monitoring water quality. Canadian Shield Consulting Agency offers ongoing maintenance and performance monitoring to ensure optimal system function year-round.
Absolutely. Many existing treatment systems in Ontario can be enhanced or expanded using constructed wetland technology. Our engineers can integrate wetlands into existing lagoons or filtration systems to improve efficiency and environmental performance.
The first step is to schedule a site evaluation with Canadian Shield Consulting Agency. Our environmental engineers will assess your property, wastewater characteristics, and treatment goals to design a cost-effective, sustainable wetland solution tailored to your needs.
