Site Description
|
|
| |
The Kumai river is one of the smaller rivers in Kalimantan, carrying a relatively small amount of silt. Average depth is 30 to more than 50 feet. Average widht is 750 m. At about 50 nautical miles from the mouth, the river ceases to be navigable. At this point two smaller rivers flow together to form the Kumai. The river ends in a wide bay, Kumai Bay. here mangrove and Nypa swamps are found, and also some sandy beaches. The town (Kumai) lies at the east bank.
The river drains only small local catchments. At the end of the West Monsoon the water is fresh and even the sea nearby has a low salinity. At the end of the dry period (East Monsoon), the river becomes saline up to the highest navigable point (20% at the surface).
Principal vegetation: Nipah (Nypa fruticans) and mangrove swamps. |
