Abstract

This paper studied the rate of sedimentation and sediment distribution patterns in the estuary of the river. This study consisted of analyzing sediment distribution in river and coastal and then carrying out the direction and pattern of sediment distribution. Sediment transport in river was influenced by river stream but in coastal was influenced by tidal. Result was shown that sediment rate in estuary was: Qsouth = 66042.94 m3/year, Qnorth = 73790.85 m3/year, Qriver=15369.73 m3/year. The sediment was come from river and coast. The sediment transport was 23117.64 m3/year, its direction was to the left of coastal normal line. Therefore the most distribution of sediment was to the coast which was located in the north of estuary.
