Determine of the total suspended sediment during the neap tide at Tok Bali Lagoon, Kelantan

Abstract

The transport of sediment via a lagoon channel during neap tide were studied for the month of July 2005. Water is sampled at 15 minutes intervals for 7 hours. Result shows that the amount of sediment vary between every hours. Nevertheless for the 7 hours sampling there were a net import of sediment into the lagoon in amount from 0.35 kg/hr - 1.56 kg/hr. The ebb tide sediment fluxes were more higher than the flood tide fluxes.
