Visual plumes coastal dispersion modeling in southwest Sabah by Zainudin, Zaki

“…The modeling results indicated that there was no significant change in ambient concentration for all constituents modeled when the effluent discharge was increased from 1,500 m3/h to 2,400 m3 /h, as long as the current quality was maintained. The plume travel distance would also not entrain into foreign waters as long as proposed volumetric discharge rate is no violated.…”
