Abstrakt: The performance of an innovative decentralized multistage constructed wetland (DMCW) treating institutional wastewater is studied covering three seasons. The DMCW system with Canna lily efficiently removed organics contaminants like COD and BOD, and nutrients from the wastewater, showing its dependency on meteorological factors. Overall the performance is maximum in summer and least in monsoon, with a COD removal of 85.6% in summer followed by 82.5% in winter and 61.2% in monsoon. Removal of TSS (67.7-85.5%), PO 4 3- -P (52.1-64.4%), NH 4 + -N (56.6-71.6%), NO 3 - -N (47.3-63.4%) and NO 2 - -N (62-75.4%) were achieved along with heavy metals like Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Hg and Pb. Removal of pathogens like Vibrio is >98%, E. coli 95%, Pseudomonas 99%, and Aeromonas 63% was observed. Mass removal rate of COD was maximum in summer (97.3 g/m 2 /d) followed by winter (78.7 g/m 2 /d) and monsoon (43.5 g/m 2 /d). Majority of organics removal during the treatment was highlighted through Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed wastewater to be complex. The Canna lily accumulated various elements and oxides during the treatment with no stress on its health. The treated water quality is within the permissible limits and stands suitable for irrigational purposes. Better plant health and increased microbial diversity in the garden proves the suitability of treated water for irrigational activities. The results were validated using statistical tools like Mann-Whitney U test and principal component analysis.
