Σύνοψη	The Activated Sludge Model (ASM) is a standardized mathematical framework for simulating biological wastewater treatment processes, developed by the International Association on Water Quality (IAWQ) beginning in 1987. It represents the transport, transformation, and fate of organic matter and nutrients in suspended-growth treatment systems. ASM is widely used to design, optimize, and predict the performance of wastewater treatment plants under varying influent and operational conditions.	Constructed wetland design is an environmental engineering approach that harnesses natural biological and chemical processes—microorganism metabolism, plant uptake, soil sorption, sedimentation—to treat wastewater, stormwater, and agricultural runoff. Developed systematically in the 1970s by German researchers Seidel and Kickuth, constructed wetlands operate with minimal energy input and create amenity and biodiversity co-benefits alongside treatment. The design process integrates hydrology, biogeochemistry, and landscape planning to optimize contaminant removal.
