On the 19th October, we were given an opportunity to help 28 undergraduate students with their field work for BAT 201 (Limnology) class. We departed from USM at 8.00 am and headed to USM Engineering Campus where the constructed wetland area was located. Our arrival was greatly welcomed by the River Engineering and Urban Drainage Research Centre (REDAC) staff. They served us some breakfast and brief us regarding REDAC and the constructed wetland area which were managed by them.

We started sampling at 9.30 am. All parameters which includes DO, TDS, temperature, depth, pH, conductivity were measured at five different areas. We also took water samples (triplicate) at each area for water quality analysis in the laboratory.
During Sampling process
We finished sampling at 1.00 pm and headed back to campus with an enjoyable experience. We would like to thank REDAC staffs for their hospitality during our presence there. Looking forward for our cooperation again next time.
cheers.~
