Hydraulic geometry at Terengganu rivers which is Sekayu are presented in this paper
and discuss the results of the analysis of all collected data the river based on width,
depth, velocity and flow disharge. The positive exponents of velocity, depth and width
have mean values of 0.59, 0.25 and -0.059 respectively where at a station hydraulic
geometry is describe very well power functions. The higher mean depth exponent
when compared to mean width and velocity shows that the changing discharge in all
cross-section in this study is dominated by depth. The power equations and Tri-plot
diagram describes the hydraulic relation effectively. Remedies for issues related to
river such as bridge placing and navigation can be improved by developing knowledge
on the hydraulic geometry parameter such as width, depth and velocity.
