Preliminary Inflow and Infiltration Study of Sewerage Systems from Two Residential Areas in Kuantan, Pahang

Sewerage system is the sole infrastructure which conveys sewage to sewerage treatment plants. The usage of a sewerage system should be optimized at the design stage to enhance environmental protection and human health. Wastewaters flows are produced from domestic sewage whereas inflow and infiltrati...
