| Summary: | The study on the distribution pattern of suspended
solid was carried out in a small catchment (6.5
hectares) planted with rubber trees. The trees are
approximately 15 years old. The discharge from the
catchment was measured using a water level recorder
and an automatic sampler was used to collect water
samples for suspended solid analysis. The water
samples were collected for the whole duration of
several storm events at 15-minute intervals.
Results from the analyses of three storm events
showed that the distribution pattern of the
suspended solid took the shape of loops. The peak
concentration of suspended solid appeared before
the peak discharge. The results also demonstrated
that surface cover had appreciably influenced the
appearance of the suspended solid peak concentrations
during a storm event. |
