Parametric Investigation in Malaysian Separate Sewer Systems

Flow characteristics are significant in the design of sewerage systems in that poor analysis of the flow design parameters may influence the capacity of a sewerage system, causing health and environmental problems. The aim of this study is to verify the design parameters in the peak flow factor equa...
