Make a 200' shallow canal and put cattails, water lilies or most any native water plants in it with dams every 20' or so. The width would be sized by the volume you need. Depending on which plants you use you can tailor the swamp to clean heavy metals, pesticides or whatever your problems are. >> Yes, Jerry, you are right. We use constructed wetlands in many of our projects.
