Abstract
This research was conducted to see the rate of sediment transport in the Krueng Meureubo watershed in Padang Mancang Village, Kaway XVI Subdistrict, West Aceh Regency, where in this village floods often occur due to overflowing of the river, which is predicted to occur due to river silting. The ability of the river to accommodate the flow at the time of flood discharge decreases due to siltation caused by sedimentation of sediment grains originating from erosion of land in the watershed area. Soil erosion is caused by erosion of soil layers due to rain that occurs on land that is prone to erosion, such as open land, forests that have been damaged due to illegal logging and areas whose land functions are transferred. Method used to analyze the sediment transport rate in the Krueng Seunagan watershed is Yang’s method, where the data to be analyzed is primary data in the form of direct measurement results in the field such as river cross-section data, flow velocity and bedload sampling using a sediment trap and suspended load in the river. the amount of sediment transport that occurred along the Meurebo River in Padang Mancang Village was 52.7634168 tons / year.
