ABSTRAK Kajian tentang sedimen melayang dilakukan diperairan Krueng Cut dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling di tujuh stasiun dan dianalisa menggunakan analisa distribusi sedimen melayang secara spasial. Pada setiap stasiun diambil tiga sampel air dalam dua keadaan perairan yaitu saat pasang dan surut. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui seberapa besar konsentrasi sedimen melayang yang ada didaerah perairan dilihat dari kondisi saat pasang dan surut. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa dalam keadaan pasang, konsentrasi sedimen melayang umumnya tersebar di daerah hilir dekat dengan muara sungai. Namun demikian, saat keadaan surut, konsentrasi sedimen melayang lebih banyak terdistribusi didaerah hulu dari daerah kajian.

ABSTRACT The study of suspended was conducted in Krueng Cut River by using purposive sampling method at seven stations and the data was analyzed by using spatial distribution analysis of suspended sediment. The samples were taken at three place in each staitions during high tide and low tide conditions. The purpose of the research is to understand how the concentration of suspended sediments is dispersed in Krueng Cut estuarial area at the condition of high tide and low tide. The results informed that during high tide condition, the concentration of suspended sediment was mostly circulated downstream near by the mouth of the river. In contrast, during low tide condition suspended sediment concentration was distributed predominantly in the upstream of the study area.
