Final Year Project: Water Monitoring of Blk 56, Floating Wetland

Objectives:

Establishing the quality of the pond water during the implementation of the floating wetland plants.�
Differentiate between the water qualities during wet weather flow and dry weather flow.

Parameters:

Floating Wetland:

An engineered system where plants are grown on floating mats; these float on the surface of the water.�
Serves as a habitat for organisms�
Beautifies the environment�
Purifies the water without chemicals

Conclusions:��

TSS: DWF meets SWQO but WWF does not

TN: Both DWF & WWF do not meet SWQO

TP: Both DWF & WWF do not meet SWQO

Recommendations:

Increase plant density → floating wetland units.
Desilt once every year to once every 5 years
For future FYP group: Repeat the project in another 6 months time to establish the water quality after the plants have establish and before the launching of stage 2 of the floating wetland.
