 AIMS AIMS/IBM - Sediment Trapping in a Semi-enclosed Coral-reef Fringed Bay in Palau Micronesia
About 98% of the riverine fine sediment settles in Airai Bay, of which about 15-30% is deposited in the mangroves during river floods.
This mud remains trapped in Airai Bay because the bay is protected from ocean swells and because the tidal currents and locally generated wind-waves are too small to resuspend the mud in quantity.
The persistence of Airai Bay marine resources may not be possible without improved soil erosion control in the river catchment.

The Koror-Airai water system serving Koror State, Palau's governmental, civic and commercial center of the country and the neighboring state of Airai, derives its water sources from Ngerimel Dam, with a storage capacity of 20 million gallons, the Ngerikiil River diversion dam and a few deep water wells located in Airai, Koror and Arakebesang.
Due to the treatment process capability of the existing Airai water treatment plant being limited only to filtration and chlorination of the raw water, the quality of the water produced does not meet U.S. Public Health Service standards for public water systems.
