Seasonal Bed Sediment Characteristics of the Kuala Sepetang River, Perak = Ciri-ciri Sediment Dasar Mengikut Musim di Kuala Sungai Sepetang, Perak

Bottom sediment samples from the Kuala Sepetang River, Taiping, Perak were analysed for the grain size in order to understand better the sedimentation processes in the estuary and along the river. The mean, standard deviation and skewness value of each sample were calculated by the moment’s method...
