Abstract
The effectiveness of Bio-Ecological Drainage System (BIOECODS) in terms of improving water quality is crucial as it denotes one of the key objectives of the sustainable drainage system. This research aimed to evaluate the performance of stormwater quality using BIOECODS as compared to the conventional drainage system. For this purpose, a pilot project was implemented at the District Police Headquarters at Pasir Mas, Kelantan (IPD Pasir Mas), Kelantan. Stormwater samples were collected at six sampling points identified within the study area since June 2020 upon project completion with a Certificate of Practical Completion obtained. The nine water quality parameters tested were Ammoniacal Nitrogen (AN), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Dissolve Oxygen (DO), pH, Total Dissolve Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), turbidity, and temperature. The result has proven the effectiveness of this system by a significant reduction in water quali parameters concentration, i.e. BOD5, COD, TDS, AN, pH and temperature, as well as substantial increments for DO. Overall results have also demonstrated that all the parameters complied with Class IIA and Class IIB, National Water Quality Standard for Malaysia before the runoff is discharged via discharge point approved by the Local Authority.
