Resum
The growing need for sustainable wastewater treatment highlights the importance of low-energy solutions such as horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (HSSF CWs). While effective, these systems often face clogging issues that reduce performance and lifespan. This study investigates clogging dynamics in a Water Treatment Plant (Lleida, Spain) using a multidisciplinary approach. Non-invasive geophysical methods such as Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Induced Polarization (IP) were combined with high-resolution drone imagery to characterize surface and subsurface indicators of clogging. Drone data captured surface anomalies, while geophysical measurements revealed subsurface obstructions. The integrated analysis identifies clogged zones and shows a strong spatial correlation between surface features and geophysical anomalies. These results validate the use of drone imagery as a rapid, non-invasive diagnostic tool and demonstrate the effectiveness of combining remote sensing with geophysical techniques for wetland assessment. This approach supports improved monitoring, targeted maintenance, and optimized long-term performance of HSSF CWs.
