Evaluation and performance of gross pollutant traps (GPTs) for open channel flow

Nowadays, water has become a scarce resource due to the water contamination problem. Pollution carried by urban stormwater is considered as one of the significant contributor to the degradation of receiving waters. One way to minimize water pollution is by constructing Gross Pollutant Traps (GPTs) a...
