The objective of this study was to evaluate the removal of metals, arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) using a floating artificial wetland (HAF), incorporating the species Eichhornia crassipes and Scirpus californicus in surface waters of the El Sinchao stream, Hualgayoc, Cajamarca. A quantitative, descriptive and experimental methodology was used, with a sample represented by the volume of contaminated water (1000 liters). The optimal construction of the wetland was determined based on the dimensions of 1.07 meters long and wide, with a depth of 0.80 meters. The results showed a removal of 100% for Cd, 99% for Fe, 98% for As, 69% for Mn considering a hydraulic retention time of 7 days. Likewise, a removal of 96% for Fluorides, 90% for Sulfates, with a reduction in Conductivity of 62% and BOD5, 44%, was also obtained. Therefore, it is concluded that the treatment through the floating artificial wetland demonstrated an average removal of 82%, indicating its potential as a viable solution for the purification of water contaminated with heavy metals, in accordance with environmental requirements.
