Sediment transport equation development for highland rivers in Malaysia / Mohd Sofiyan Sulaiman

The phenomenon of sediment transport had been studied for the last 100 years and always given special attention by the researchers and engineers. The human activities severely affected by the sedimentation problem such as flooding, deposition, damaging the hydraulic structure and much more. Various...
