Drainase Bandar Udara Juwata Tarakan merupakan salah satu Drainase yang dibuat untuk mengurangi debit banjir yang sering meluap dari saluran. Penelitian terhadap aliran air pada drainase Bandar Udara Juwata ini diharapkan mampu mengetahui angkutan perpindahan sedimen serta kaitannya dengan aliran drainase. Berdasarkan hasil analisa menggunakan rumus empiris dengan metode Engelund-Hunsen dan Acker’s-White diketahui sedimentasi terjadi di hampir sepanjang drainase Bandar Udara Juwata Tarakan. Dari hasil perhitungan laju sedimen dengan metode Engelund-Hunsen diperoleh hasil 12,1177 (m³/dtk) pada drainase 1 dan 3,4696 (m³/dtk) pada drainase 2. Sedangkan dengan menggunakan metode Acker’s-White diperoleh hasil pada drainase 1 sebesar 41,0888 (m³/dtk) pada drainase 1 dan 13,9720 (m³/dtk) pada drainase 2. Berdasarkan dari analisa pada Drainase ini metode yang paling cocok adalah metode Engelund-Hansen, karena dalam metode ini digunakan parameter qs, dimana dipengaruhi oleh lebar sungai dan faktor tegangan geser, karena pergerakan sedimen sangat dipengaruhi oleh tegangan geser, kecepatan kritis dan gaya angkat.

Drainage Juwata Tarakan airport is one of the drainage are made to reduce flood discharge which often overflowed from the channel. Research on the water flow in drainage Juwata airport is expected to know the movement of sediment transport and its relation to drainage, due to sedimentation that occur in a watershed or drainage would result in a decreased rate of water flow and can cause silting of basic channels. Based on the analysis using the empirical formula method Engelund Hunsen and Acker's -White known sedimentation occurs in almost all drainage Juwata Tarakan airport. From the calculation of the rate of sediment with Engelund-Hunsen methods result in Drainage 1 of 12,1177 (m³/s) and the drainage 2 amounted to 3,4696 (m³/s). While using Acker's-White obtained the results of the Drainage 1 of 41,0888 (m³/s) and the drainage 2 amounted to 13,9720 (m³/s). Based on the analysis in this drainage is the most suitable method Engelund-Hansen method, because the method is used qs parameter, which is influenced by the width of the river and the shear stress factor, because the movement of sediment is influenced by shear stress, the critical speed and lift.
