SEDIMENTATION RATE BASED ON OCEANOGAPHIC PARAMETERS REVIEWS IN THE ESTUARY OF KAPUAS, CENTRAL KALIMANTAN

Abstract

Geographically, the study area is located on the coast of Kapuas River mouth, Central Kalimantan. This open beach area is affected by wave action from southeast, south, southwest and west direction. The longshore current drifts to the estuary on the coastal zone of the Kapuas River. It gives potential sediment supply from the southeast to the north. The sediment tends to be deposited in the western part estuary of Kapuas.This particular thing evokes the ship navigation in Kapuas estuary.
