Monsoonal effects on hydrodynamic and water quality at Setiu wetland, Terengganu
Setiu Wetland is facing shoreline alterations, which caused relocation of the inlet through a natural closing of the old river mouth and the opening of a new one. Research has shown that continuous actions of monsoonal wind, wave, and current were the reason of this alteration. To our knowledge,...

Setiu Wetland is facing shoreline alterations, which caused relocation of the
inlet through a natural closing of the old river mouth and the opening of a new one.
Research has shown that continuous actions of monsoonal wind, wave, and current
were the reason of this alteration. To our knowledge, very few of the previous
researches in Setiu Wetland are focusing at the new inlet area. Thus, this study
attempts to understand the hydrodynamics and water quality in Setiu Wetland from
the new inlet perspective. The repositioning of this inlet raises questions such how
the current flow in the lagoon has changed and how capable this ecosystem in
maintaining its water quality since most of the sources of anthropogenic activities are
situated at the old inlet. In order to have a general overview of the current status at
the new inlet, in situ field surveys were carried out during August 2017, December
2017, and February 2018 which represent the southwest monsoon, wet period of
northeast monsoon, and dry period of northeast monsoon, respectively. Statistical
analysis was performed on the environmental parameters to demonstrate
relationships among variables. Numerical modelling was also executed to improve
the restrictions of field observations while providing a better understanding of the
dynamics of this water body. The results indicated that the current flow in Setiu
Wetland is tidally dominated, following the ebb and flood as well as neap and spring
tides cycles. Larger size of Setiu River produced slightly stronger tidal current at the
south of the inlet area. |
