Exfiltration from sewers: effects of different types of leakage / Mohd Ashaari Ab Wahab ... [et al.]

This research was conducted to study exfiltration of wastewater from gravity sewers. Exfiltration through different types of sewer leaks were studied. With the different size of leakage areas and a constant thickness of soil bedding, it was found that the exfiltration rate reduces and became constan...
