| description | The government has developed new guidelines to designer of stormwater
management since 1990’s. The Malaysian Stormwater Management Manual
(MSMA) introduced new method in controlling rainfall runoff by source control.
The result is a controlled runoff considering both quantity and quality. Infiltration is
an important tool in visualizing the objectives of MSMA. This study addresses the
spatial variability of infiltration rates in the area of Kuala Lumpur. The study is base
on site investigation reports on 55 locations, which means this is an off-site study.
Borehole log and laboratory results provide data in soil type decision making. The
steady state infiltration rate is base on USDA study recommendations. Contour
maps is then prepared by using SURFER surface mapping programme. The
infiltration variability map shows a few possible potential infiltration practicing
area, namely National Theatre, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Bricksfield HQ, DBKL
club, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Cheras Batu 2 ½. A geostatistical analysis was performed
to investigate spatial autocorrelation of infiltration data using GS+ software. This
study do not provide exact value of infiltration contour. It is a result of study
references and recommendation value. |
