Flow Design of Sewerage System - A Case Study in Taman Pandan Damai, Kuantan

Flow design parameters are important in the sewerage system design. The purpose of this research is to verify the design flow parameters in the sewerage systems within a residential area at Kuantan, Pahang. The residential area selected in this research was Taman Pandan Damai. The population equival...
