An analytical study on heavy siltation in the Keum River Estuary after the construction of a dyke. Journal of Coastal Research, SI 50 (Proceedings of the 9th International Coastal Symposium), 1147 – 1151. Gold Coast, Australia, ISSN 0749.0208 The effects of a dyke construction on morphological changes in the Keum River Estuary were analytically investigated. Based on data measured during the last 20 years, this paper presents a theoretical model for understanding the morphological changes in the estuary and concluded that the reduction of tidal prism after a dyke construction caused the heavy deposit of fine-grained sediments in the Keum River Estuary. A noteworthy result from this study is that the overall rate of sedimentation depends on the difference in the suspended sediment concentration between the estuary and surrounding area. Field measurements show that the estuary did
