Erosion and Sedimentation at Headwater Stream: A Case Study for Pergau Water Intake

Abstract

Due to strategic location for water intake facilities, a study was carried out to determine the extent of erosion and sedimentation process at Pergau water intakes that conveyed water into Pergau Lake. Three specific aims were formulated: Soil loss determination at catchment scale, sediment load determination at reach scale and river bank stability and toe erosion near the intake facility. A desktop study using remote sensing and GIS tools was executed to determine the extent of soil loss at catchment scale. The sediment load and river bank stability were measured in the field using wading technique.
