Abstract     Ecoremediations (ERM) are natural and innovative man-made ecosystems with multipurpose function: water treatment, water retention / reuse, biodiversity increase and energy crops production. The paper reviews operational performances of over 30 multipurpose ERM systems in Slovenia: constructed wetlands (CW) for sewage, industrial waste water, drinking water, landfill Icechate, high-way run-off, bonds/wetlands, vegetated drainage ditches (VDD) for agricultural run-off, landfills restorations with ERM, river revitalizations, and improvements of habitats for endangered species.
