Evaluation of Gross Pollutant Wet Load in Sungai Sering, Malaysia

Abstract

The gross pollutant wet load of Sungai Sering catchment, a tributary of Sungai Klang was evaluated. The catchment represents an urban catchment with rapid growth rate due to urbanization process. Urbanization frequently relates to drop of stormwater quality due to many factors such as uncontrolled pollution and improper waste disposal. The study aims to improve the understanding on the wet load trapped in 10 Gross Pollutant Traps (GPTs) in the study area. The amount of wet load analysed based on data collected in the duration from August to December 2015. There is a linear relationship between the amount of gross pollutant wet load and rainfall depth.
