Comparison Between Pipe System And Bioecods System By Using Storm Water Management Model (SWMM)

| Summary: | Urbanization has led to problems in urban storm water management such as flash
flood. A conventional drainage system has been designed to mitigate flash flood by
transporting storm water runoff out of the catchments into river as fast as possible (rapid
disposal). This conventional drainage system is based on manual “Planning and Design
Procedure by Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID)” in 1975. However this
conventional system has led to the occurrence of flash flood at the downstream of the
catchments. Therefore, a new manual has been introduced by DID Malaysia. This new
manual is known as “Storm Water Management Manual (MSMA)” in 2001. “Best
Management Practices (BMPs)” or control at source concept has been applied in this new
manual to achieve zero development impact contribution.
This new drainage has been implemented by Universiti Sains Malaysia in
collaboration with DID. The site of study is located in USM Engineering Campus
Seberang Perai Selatan District, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. In order to verify the
effectiveness of this new drainage system, simulation of pipe system (rapid disposal) and
BIOECODS system (control at source) has been carried out as a comparison. |
