The final report presents the results for the subsurface infiltration and
storage tank systems which were used to control stormwater quantity in
Engineering Campus Universiti Sains Malaysia, Tronoh, Perak. The purposes of
this study are:
- As a pilot research
for Malaysian application
- To study the
efficiency of subsurface infiltration and storage tank to attenuate
stormwater runoff
- To study the
effectiveness and efficiency of infiltration and storage tank technique to
reduce flood woes in Malaysia
- To analyses cost
benefit of the systems
- To provide a
sustainable environment for urban communities
Three different infiltration and storage techniques have been selected based
on the surrounding soil conditions. These systems are module infiltration
system, loose rock infiltration system and module storage tank system.
Data acquisition has been carried out into two stages from July 2000 to
March 2001 (Stage I) and from April 2001 to September 2001 (Stage II). Stage
II was executed after few modifications have been done to improve system
efficiency. Around 50 rainfall events were recorded and analyzed.
Accompanied with this report is a guideline on infiltration and storage tank
design for Malaysian application has been drafted.
