Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between land use types and sedimentary characteristics of fluvial bed at three rivers in Selangor, Malaysia; namely Sungai Tengi, Selangor and Langat. The diversity in population density and land development at the adjacent river banks gives associated dominant land use type as forest, agriculture and urban for Tengi, Selangor and Langat, respectively. Field sampling was conducted at consistent spatial locations for Tengi and Selangor, whereas for Langat, the bed sediment was taken at non-uniform spatial points due to limited access. Statistical analysis of the sediment bed mixture shows that forest dominated land gives finer bed sediment size at 650 μm. Correlation analysis proved that there is a relationship between types of land use with the mean sediment size. No distinctive correlation can be observed for sorting, skewness and kurtosis of the sediment with the types of land use.
