Preliminary Study on Sediment Load at Sungai Galing, Kuantan, Pahang

In general, sediment comprises many shapes and sizes. The sediment size can be small, such as sand,small pebbles and silt, or large such as boulders, which are normally found upriver. Sediments found in estuaries are mostly fingrained, such as sand and silt. The speed at which water flows in rivers...
