Aktörerna inom sektorn har ett ansvar att minska dessa och ett relativtThe ICT sector’s greenhouse gas emissions are comparable to those of the aviation industry, and the actors within the sector have a responsibility to reduce these in order to help combat global warming. A relatively new area of concern is the climate impact of software due to energy consumption. For example, AI has been acknowledged as an emissions-hungry technology because of the large computatio

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been applied for several years in the removal process pollutants from secondary treatment plants and stormwater. In this paper, the Variable Residence Time (VART) model for solute transport in streams was extended to simulate the BOD removal process in free water surface flow constructed wetlands (FWS CWs). The double layer concept of the basic VART model was extend
