Abstract
Sediment transport study is important in Barak River in the context of river bank erosion, deposition, and water quality management. The initiation of computer technologies has enabled engineers to resolve sediment transport equations through computer simulations. In this study, it is intended to carry out a sediment transport study in the Barak River reach for which the latest version of Hydrologic Engineering Centre-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) is used. Ackers–White sediment transport equation is used to analyze characteristics of sediment transport. From the analysis of the model, total sediment erosion and deposition were obtained at different cross sections between the study reach. The model is calibrated with the observed data and a statistical performance analysis is done. The result shows that the model is performing well and can describe sediment discharge movement as well as can estimate the amount of sediment deposition and erosion at different sections in the study reach.
