Abstract The upstream channel of the Nakdong River Estuary Barrage (NREB) has experienced sedimentation problems requiring annual dredging operation after the construction. The main purpose of sediment dredging is to prevent flooding during late summer. Numerical simulation and volume analysis using field surveying data for the Lower Nakdong River have been conducted to quantify the bed changes with and without dredging operation and to analyze the effectiveness of dredging at the NREB. As a result, it is presented that the bed change rate (sedimentation rate) after dredging is much faster than the bed condition without dredging. The water surface rising of the maximum 10 cm was generated in case the dredging was not considered in the modeling. Volumetric analysis of bed changes using field surveying data presented that 41 percent of total sediment erosion was eliminated by natural flushing and 59 percent was dredged in the field. Because it is noticeable that dredged section is redeposited rapidly after dredging during low flow through the 2D simulation, it is expected that most of total sediment erosion (at least more than 41% of total sediment erosion) is caused by natural flushing due to the floods. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use natural flushing or intentional sluicing techniques for sedimentation control methods at the NREB.
