Miklas Scholz

Miklas Scholz is a professor in water resources engineering at Lund University. He holds the chair in civil engineering at University of Salford where he serves as a professor and the head of the civil engineering research group. He has published 4 books and over 240 articles in various journals. In 2020, his work has been cited over 6800 times according to Google Scholar, with an h-index of 42. His main research areas are treatment wetlands, integrated constructed wetlands (ICW), sustainable flood retention basins (SFRB), permeable pavement systems, decision support systems, ponds and capillary suction time. He was awarded €7,000,000 for the EU H2020 REA project Water Retention and Nutrient Recycling in Soils and Streams for Improved Agricultural Production (WATERAGRI). He received €1,520,000 in 2018 for the JPI Water Project 2018. His research indicated constructed wetlands are effective in removing organics and suspended solids, although the removal of nitrogen is relatively low, but could be improved by using a combination of various types of constructed wetlands.
