Application of pond to improve river water quality

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 mod...
