Recent evolution of the Irrawaddy (Ayeyarwady) Delta and
The Irrawaddy is considered one of the major tropical river systems in the world (Syvitski et al., 2014).Its basin covers 60% of Myanmar's territory (Fig. 1) and is home to over 90% of the population of Myanmar, that is heavily dependent on the river and its resources for livelihood (Furuichi et al., 2009).The Irrawaddy Delta is one of the most sand trade as it is a common problem facing all the countries of the world. The country of Myanmar, where this research was carried out, has its own local sand supply sources, mainly the Irrawaddy River and Ngapali Beach.
