Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the implication of geomorphology and sedimentology on the
chemical characteristics of sediments of River Sadong, Malaysia. There is limited published work on
the effect of topography, climate, soil and geology on the sediments lying in the River Sadong. Studies
have been undertaken around Kota Samarahan and Asajaya areas whereby some heavy metal
constituents and their environmental effects were determined. The study entails the description of the
depositional processes alongside with physical and geochemical changes, without neglecting natural
and anthropogenic effects.
