Water Quality Monitoring in Sungei Mandai Besar (18 Jun 08)

S. Mandai B. starts off as a canal.



Lots of drains flowing into SMB. This appears to be the outlet from the nearby wastewater treatment plant.



SMB is surrounded by mangrove further downstream. Tide has yet to come in.



SMB is not a particular clean stream with various industries situated in its drainage basin.


Back at the lab - testing for bacteria in water sample from SMB
