WWT Consulting worked with WWT, WWF and local government partners to investigate That Luang Marsh and develop a management system which can maximise ecosystem functions for the benefit of people and the environment. The project has:

  1. Improved urban planning to avoid detrimental impacts on important wetland ecosystem functioning
  2. Developed a management plan for all wetland ecosystem services and resources That Luang Marsh provides
  3. Designed constructed wetland treatment systems to treat current and potential wastewater inputs to the marsh
  4. Constructed small scale wetland treatment systems to treat industrial and domestic wastewater
