Sediment Suspension Distribution Models in East Canal Flood Estuary Waters, Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia
Summary
Researchers assessed the spatial distribution and concentration of total suspended solids (TSS) in the East Canal Flood River estuary of Semarang, Indonesia, using sediment suspension distribution models to map pollution levels and evaluate conformity with regulatory thresholds in this densely populated coastal zone.
The study was carried out in Semarang City, Central Java, Indonesia, along the East Canal Flood River. There are several community activities that produce some pollutants and total suspended solids (TSS) was one of the elements is. The river transports these pollutants to the estuary. These coastal regions provide exceptional life support for creatures. This study attempts to determine the concentration value of suspended solids, its suitability to the pollution threshold value, and the distribution pattern of the sediment suspension based on hydrodynamic parameters, using the Delft3D program. This study estimated the distribution of sediment suspensions by not only describing conditions at a single point in time, but also representing seasonal conditions periodically. The concentration ranges between 0.04 kg/m3 and 0.06 kg/m3, making it good for aquaculture, marine tourism, and conservation. At high tide, the dispersion of suspended sediment leads to the land; at low tide, it leads to the sea. This study can be utilized as a supplement to prior research, which mainly consisted simply of sediment suspension distribution maps.

Modeling the fate of microplastics in the Sengkarang Estuary, Pekalongan City, Central Java, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic concentrations in water and sediment at the mouth of the Sengkarang River in Indonesia and built a hydrodynamic model to track how tidal currents, wind, and river flow distribute the particles. Microplastics were highest in coastal waters and mangrove sediments, with tides and currents driving horizontal transport and concentrating particles in biologically sensitive habitats. The modeling approach offers a practical framework for predicting where microplastics accumulate and informing pollution management in river-to-sea systems.
Spatial Distribution and Quantification of Microplastic Contamination in Sediments of Kaliratu Coastal Waters, Kebumen, Indonesia
Researchers found microplastics in sediments along Kaliratu Beach in Indonesia at concentrations of 25–57.5 particles/kg, with fibres, fragments, films, and pellets all present, and used hydrodynamic modelling to trace how seasonal monsoon currents distribute them along the coastline. The findings highlight that even relatively remote Indonesian coastal areas near shrimp ponds and other anthropogenic activity are accumulating measurable plastic pollution.
Korelasi Konsentrasi Mikroplastik dengan Material Padatan Tersuspensi (MPT) di Perairan Delta Sungai Bodri, Kendal, Jawa Tengah
Researchers examined the correlation between microplastic concentration and total suspended solids in waters of the Bodri River delta in Central Java, Indonesia, collecting 16 water samples across eight stations during both high and low tides in the dry season, finding a relationship between sediment load and microplastic distribution in this coastal system.
Microplastics Patch Based on HydrodynamicModeling in The North Indramayu, Java Sea
Hydrodynamic modeling was used to track microplastic transport in the Java Sea off North Indramayu, Indonesia, predicting accumulation zones influenced by tidal currents and seasonal winds. The study provides a modeling framework for understanding microplastic distribution in Indonesian coastal waters, which receive high plastic inputs from land.
Physical Control on Marine Debris Spreading around Muara Gembong, Jakarta Bay
Researchers used numerical modelling combined with artificial debris pathway analysis to investigate how marine debris from the Citarum River disperses around Muara Gembong in Jakarta Bay, finding that debris trajectory patterns differ substantially between the northwest and southeast monsoon seasons due to varying ocean currents, tides, and wind patterns.
