Project Summary:
The Bio-Ecological Drainage
System (BIOECODS) is a pilot project that meets the
requirement of Urban Storm Water Management Manual for
Malaysia (MSMA). BIOECODS is designed for both water
quantity and quality controls. BIOECODS was constructed at
Engineering Campus, University Science Malaysia, Nibong
Tebal, Pulau Pinang and completed in December 2002. BIOECODS
forms an alternative to storm water management practice and
is designed as an environmentally-friendly system based on
“Control-at-Source” concepts. The objectives of this pilot
project are:
- Infiltration of stormwater from
building, road and other impermeable areas
- Flow retardation of stormwater
runoff
- Stormwater treatment
The components of BIOECODS systems
are ecological grassed swales, dry ponds and an ecological pond
consisting of wetpond, detention pond, wetland, wading river and
recreational pond. Three types of ecological swales were
constructed namely Type A, Type B and Type C depending on the
number of modules available underneath the swale. Stormwater
runoff is conveyed by ecological swales and dry ponds to wet
pond, detention pond and finally wetland for further treatment.
The end product is expected to improve the aesthetic values of
the USM Engineering Campus with the existence of the “Crystal
Clear Blue Water Lake” at the downstream end of the system.
