Abstract

One of the causes of decreasing river capacity is silting and/or narrowing by sedimentation, this is what happened in the Bengkalis River, another impact due to siltation is the occurrence of overflowing water from the river which can threaten the area on the riverbank, so research is carried out on the characteristics of sediment samples, especially the Bengkalis river with the aim to obtaining information about the characteristics of river sediments. The method used in this research is field observation by measuring the river profile and flow velocity, then taking soil samples at the riverbed and carrying out laboratory tests such as specific gravity, filter analysis, and hydrometer. The results of BJ sediments from three sediment samples at the estuary, middle and upstream locations of STA 0+000, STA 0+925, and STA 1+922 were 2.46; 2.26; and 2.37. Based on the results of laboratory tests, the results of the specific gravity show that the farther from the sea, the smaller the density of the sediment. The types of sedimentary material from the results of the sieve analysis and hydrometer test are silt (silt) and clay, respectively STA 0+000 37.84%, 19.81%, STA 0+925 42.46%, 31.01%, and STA 1 +922 50.07%, 28.82%.
