| description | This paper presents the application of pond to elevate the river water quality by modeling a river through
a pond in Water quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP). Data of a pond located at IIUM, Gombak
including its physical and water quality characteristics were used to calibrate the WASP model. It has
been revealed that increasing the volume of the pond by increasing its length is more effective than
increasing the other dimensions. In the case of Total Suspended Solids removal, increasing the depth
proves to be ineffective provided that particle sizes of the suspended solids are less than 0.005mm. A pond
having a flow to pond volume ratio of 7 is able to remove 33% of Ammoniacal Nitrogen (AN), 42% of
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and 50% of Total Suspended Solids (TSS). However, the flow to
pond volume ratio demonstrates a descending logarithmic pattern in removing pollutants from the
flowing water. |
