This thesis is divided into 7 chapters. Each chapter deals with one of the main subjects mentioned in the previous paragraph. Chapter 1 gives an introduction on the Musi river and the problems encountered in the entrance channel of the Port of Palembang. The present-day situation of the Musi river, as well as the available data, will be described in Chapter 2. A simulation model of the Musi river with the DUFLOW program is discussed in Chapter 3. In Chapter 4 a sediment transport calculation will be made to predict the amount of sediment that will have to be dredged in the future. In Chapter 5 the possible application of riverworks, such as groynes, will be discussed. Chapter 6 will go into the aspects of dredging on the Musi river, Le. methods, dredged amounts and costs. Final conclusions and recommendations are given in Chapter 8. Chapter 9 will contain the synthesis of this thesis.
