Abstract

Pampang Kiri River in Pampang Culture Village, North Samarinda, Samarinda City, East Borneo is one of the catchment rivers of Benanga Dam, Lempake. This study aims to determine the distribution of sediment texture and Fe concentration in samples and the influence of Fe concentration from upstream to downstream rivers. The research methods used are the mathematical approach granulometry method and XRF method to determine the concentration of Fe metal. Based on the results of granulometric analysis in the upstream and downstream parts of the river, the size and sorting of grains with an average size of sand with morderately – poorly sorted grains. The skewness and kurtosis values in the river in the upstream part are more active than the downstream part of the river. The distribution of Fe content in the upstream section is lower than in the downstream section of the river. This indicates that further down the river, the process of sedimentation, deposition, and current conditions as a medium of transportation are quieter than in the upper reaches of the river. It is necessary to use a more diverse mesh and the use of graphical and mathematical methods as data validation in the study.
