22 Even though all of the designs are different, they share similar concept and major components. Typically, to build treatment wetlands that can work, one needs swales, inlets, for-bays, gabion walls, marsh zones, micro-pools, embankments, sediment disposals, and outlets.

32 Figure 3.16 Hydro Infrastructure There are also surfaces like hydroponic allotments, wetland rhizo-filtration, fauna wetland, and solar exposure. And, the forests will stretch from pools to the higher elevations with broadleaf, upland sub-tropical, and wetland woodlands. The complexity of water infrastructure makes diverse species communities possible. The fifth case is the water treatment facility in New Haven, Connecticut, USA.(

33 The data sources of these five cases were analysized and six factors are citied. Figure 3.20 shows the six factors corresponding to the three research categories presented in literature review. They are spatial experience, stormwater collecting, natural succession, plant and species diversity, habitat creation, and treatment and cleaning. These factors can help define brownfields and form this study s recommendations. In addition, the factors help analyze the cases in a deeper way. The definition of each factor includes:

34 Plant and species diversity is finding out the way the designers create more natural communities and habitats;.
