Abstract Population of world increase day by day and it may raise more than 9 billion upto 2040. Fresh potable water for drinking, domestic and agricultural use is life line of human, animals, plants. In present situation most of the countries fight with this scarcity of potable water. And in future situation will be very tuff. Construction of engineered wetlands is concept based on natural wetlands. Now days reduction of natural wetlands cause of water pollution, soil pollution and reduction of bio diversity. Processes of engineered wetlands surpass the problems of natural wetlands and will increase the capacity of waste water treatment process. Constructed wetland treated waste water on basis of natural process which is completely non-hazardous, eco-friendly and non-consumption of energy. At in present condition, land is costlier and most of the wetlands vanish due to effective use of lands, hence we found various hazardous changes like ground water depletion, increase of greenhouse gases (Methane, CO2), disturbance/vanishing of bio diversity lived into wetlands. Wetlands are also play a major role for flying animals, water animals for food chain and food web. Development of wetland is always cost effective, durable as compare to others conventional waste water treatments and engineered developed waste water treatment plants. Now a day’s, it very necessary to develop the techniques to reduce carbon foot prints and adopts those technology completely based on natural processes. Nature provides the techniques to humans but it need some scientific and engineered way to develop. Engineered developed wetlands have beautified locality/area and without any kind of odour, smell, nuisance of flying kits etc. Wetlands with pollution absorbent plants create bio diversity and beautified locality.
