Welcome

MiTS-MSMA software enables you to design and create on-site detention and detention
pond for all types of development projects.

The software is written based on the Urban Stormwater Management Manual for
Malaysia (MSMA) standards and guidelines. The application of MSMA is simplified and
you can generate the result in designing pond by only few simple inputs. It is easy to use
and the software comes with drawing detailing export capability.

This user manualoutlines the main features of MiTS-MSMA that users would generally
use. Users will learn how to create IDF, OSD and detention pond for a development
project.

If you are holding a printed copy now, do check for a softcopy supplied with the software
CD which may have updates subsequent to the printing of this manual.
