Comparative Analysis of Sediment Transport Load for Indian River

Abstract: One of the major problems that interrupt the stability of any river is sedimentation. Excessive sedimentation causes an increase in riverbed elevation (siltation) & at the same time can increase water level which may also result in flooding situation. By numbers of applicability of new theories for calculation of sedimentation in rivers is investigated using sediment transport in Natural River as well as filed measurements from water. This study aims to evaluate various methods of estimating sediment transport which gives its best level of accuracy for existing sediment transport methods. Here it have to be discussed about the outcome of comparative analysis of the applicability of Bagnold (1966), Wuiff (1985), etc. suspended load transport methods for Indian Rivers. The computed method is considered accurate if and only the percentage of compliance with the highest discrepancy ratio (r) ranges from available data. Sediment parameter data computation is done by taking observed data to estimate the concentration of suspended sediment, bedload sediment sample and samples of bedload material using the correct standard data retrieval.
