Abstract

Constructed wetland is a part of bio-ecological system and it becomes widely used in


urban design to serve a number of functions such as stormwater management.
Basically this system is designed to replace the conventional drainage system of
rapid disposal approach. The stormwater will convey into the constructed wetland for
treatment in term of biological, chemical and physical aspects before recycle the
water back for domestic’s purposes. Since this is new system introduced in Malaysia
so a lot of study must be carry out and one of element that can be considered is
water quality modeling. The aim of this paper is to decide the best model that can
use to predict the water quality for constructed wetland in Malaysia
This paper describes the ability of two models in predicting water quality for
constructed wetland. The water quality data that measured in situ will be compared
with the prediction data that calculated by the chosen models. The model that gives
small root mean square error will be selected. The selected model then will be
proposed to use for various condition of constructed wetland for prediction of water
quality aspects.
