Analysis of Bed Load Sediment at Terengganu River, Malaysia

River is the most important source in life, human health and natural ecosystems. The importance of the river can be seen today in terms of both which are physical environment or human survival. Equilibrium of the river depends on the flow rate of water and influenced by several factors such as fre...
