2 Prediction of suspended fine-sediment concentration and siltation at Kapar coastal region in Malaysia J. Tu\ A.K. Ishak^, H.

The work was aimed at the development of predictive models of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and sedimentation rate in the vicinity of the Kapar power station construction. This paper reports the model development and its prediction of siltation in this particular region. A new approach is proposed to predicting sediment deposition rate (siltation) from a time derivative
