FIELD INVESTIGATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF STREET INLETS
Street inlets, also known as storm water inlets, are provided to intercept rainwater runoff from the roads. These inlets are part of the drainage system. The nature of roads in Malaysia where there is too much surface runoff leads to urban flooding. With urbanization, there are more concrete structu...
