Community perceptions on the adoption of stormwater management practices in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah: A pilot study

The current practices have included the BMPs to improve urban stormwater quality while reducing critical flood events and stream erosion. However, uncontrolled development in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, compromises the way water flows. Albeit with MSMA, the community perspectives are also important and sh...
