“…Previous studies have shown that the GDM systems could potentially treat greywater/municipal wastewater, but with a relatively low permeability (30-70 L/m 2 h/bar), which is dependent on the wastewater quality such as organic concentrations (Ding et al 2016, Ding et al 2017a, Ding et al 2017b, Jabornig and Podmirseg 2015, Wang et al 2017). In addition, the GDM systems could not fully remove dissolved organic substances, such as humic substances, building blocks, and low molecular weight substances (Ding et al 2018a, Wu et al 2019.…”
