Magnetic susceptibility of fine sediment Bengawan Solo river basin was presented. The appearance of magnetic susceptibility of fine sediment indicates the existence of a magnetic field source. Kappa meter type KT-6 is used for roughly mapping the magnetic source in fine sediment for a large enough area. Then, the actual fine sediment content is evaluated by using the x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and x-ray diffractometer (XRD). More than a hundred sampling points have measured susceptibility along with the mouth Bengawan Solo river at Bojonegoro Regency. The XRF and XRD result confirms that the largest content of the fine sediment as magnetite. Finally, the magnetic properties of the fine sediment are confirmed that the magnetic source is magnetite.
