Technical Approach of Erosion and Sedimentation on Canal (Case Study in Delta Telang I, Banyuasin, South Sumatra Province)

The dynamics of water in a swamp area in both tertiary and in the canal influenced by several conditions, among others: the amount of rainfall, hydro-topography land, the potential flood tide, the potential for drainage, water system network conditions, and operation of water system construction. Therefore all components must be evaluated and analyzed to support the water needs of plants. Required data in its own canal of direct observations in the field to the observational data can be accurate. But this way takes time, effort and considerable expense.Therefore the use of computer models to predict and evaluate the performance of the network is an appropriate solution. In connection with the above problems, it needs to be a study in addition to evaluating the performance of the existing drainage system in the control of water levels in tidal marsh areas also need to canal stability analysis in an effort to support the operation and maintenance of the canal.
