Nowadays, most urban areas experience difficulties in solving water pollution in rivers and streams. Hence, a proper solution should be carried out to overcome this problem. The objective of this research is to study an effective floating debris boom which can be created with appropriate dimensions, as well as good level of effectiveness of material in various flow rates, in a rectangular open channel to reduce the river pollution. In this research, there are two types of connection, hinged or drilled hole that will be used to connect the piers and the booms. Three types of material were used which are Styrofoam, bamboo, and PVC.  Total six booms were created and tested with five different flow rates.  An amount of 200g of debris was put into the open channel to test the floating debris boom. The results indicated that hinged connection is stronger than drilled-hole connection to connect the piers and the booms as it provided a free movement for the boom to move. For the type of material, Styrofoam proved that it has the best effectiveness for capturing the debris due to its lighter weight among the three materials. Based on the data obtained,  floating debris boom which  is  made  from Styrofoam  and  connected  by  hinged  connection  has  the  best  performance  and effectiveness  for  capturing  the  debris  in  this  experiment.  Eventually, this finding   may contribute toward the minimization of river pollution happening in Malaysia20aFaculty of Civil Engineering and Earth ResourcesxDissertations 0aUniversities and CollegesxDissertations 0aTheses40uhttp://ecollib.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/25889zAccess in library only
