Abstract: The study was conducted in Chinda creek a section of the New Calabar River, using 30 sample points with an interval of 21.4m each. Measurement of the cross sectional area was done using the Cuencea [1] formula and Chang et al. [2] formula for sediment transport. Alongside this the US BLH 84 sediment sampler and the Depth-Integrating Suspended-Sediment Sampler Model DH 48 was used for collecting data on both the suspended load sediment yield and the bed load sediment yield. The result of the study revealed an insignificant relationship between sediment transport (suspended load sediment yield and bed load sediment yield) and channel morphology. The co-efficient of determination of each of the two independent variable showed that an insignificant 10.89% variation in channel morphology is explainable by each of the independent variable.
