Abstract

Mengabang Telipot is a slough about 10 km north of Kuala Terengganu on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Its mouth is normally closed to free exchange of sea water by a sand wash-over bar. On 16 Aug 1984 the mouth was opened artificially the slough became tidal and a delta of sand was formed. The mouth remained open until the end of Sep. The long-shore current averaged 13 cm/sec toward the north-west. This modified the delta and eventually led to the closing of the slough mouth. Deposition on the south-east side of the delta made it possible to estimate a volume of long-shore sand transport of 250 cu m/day
