CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1. Background
Alluvial plain is a plain formed by geomorphological processes that are dominated
by exogenous forces such as climate, rainfall, wind, rock type, topography, temperature,
all of which will accelerate the weathering and erosion process. The result of erosion is
deposited by water to a lower place or following the stream.
Alluvial plains occupy coastal areas, inter-mountain areas, and river valley plains.
this alluvial region is enclosed by the resultant material from the surrounding area,
upstream area or from a higher area. The ground water potential of this area is
determined by the type and texture of the rock.
When a river with a large sediment load flows from a hill or mountain, and into the
lowlands, there will be a drastic speed gradient change, resulting in rapid material
deposition, known as alluvial fan, in the form of a loose material bundle, shaped like fan,
usually present on a plain in front of a gawir. Usually in the alluvial fan area there is
abundant ground water. This is because generally alluvial fans consist of sand and loam
so that it is a good water carrier layer.
Tides are a periodic process of sea level rise and decline due to the influence of the
moon and sun's gravity. The periodic process is a natural process whereby it happens
repeatedly so it can be predicted. With a wave that is a random occurrence, periodic
periodic tide can be determined with definite events from the tides.
