Check US EPA documents for a good primer, albeit dated (1994) Wetlands Handbook. Are you trying to hire a consultant to provide a turn-key solution, or educate yourself on the topic? 2 primary questions are (1) the quality of the influents (as well as temporal distribution of flow) and (2) receiving water quality standards. Obviously considerations are how much land is available and what is the tolerance for receiving water quality exceedance of standards. Good luck.
