Abstract: Background: As dynamic ecosystems, rivers store water and flow it from upstream to downstream. This study aims to determine the amount of sediment volume based on flow velocity data and river flow discharge. This study has three variables: flow velocity, wet cross-sectional area and sediment transport volume.
Materials and MethodsThis research is quantitative research. The sampling point is downstream of the Walanae River, which crosses the area of Kebo Village, Lilirilau District, Soppeng Regency. Measurements were made to obtain primary data in sediment transport, flow velocity, and cross-sectional area carried out at normal water levels (no rain conditions) and during flood water levels.......
KeyWord: Downstream, Flow velocity, Wet cross-sectional area, Sediment volume.
