Sediment Monitoring — Surveys & Investigations

Surveys & Investigations

Sediment Monitoring

Characterising suspended sediment loads, bedload transport rates and sedimentation patterns in Himalayan rivers and reservoirs- combining field sampling, laboratory analysis and acoustic measurement methods to quantify sediment budgets for hydropower design, reservoir management and river morphology studies.

Suspended sediment analysis

Collecting and analysing suspended sediment samples using depth-integrated and point samplers across a range of flow conditions for determining concentration, grain size distribution and seasonal sediment load for catchment erosion assessment, hydropower turbine wear analysis and reservoir sedimentation studies

Bed-load analysis

Measuring and characterising bedload sediment transport in gravel-bed and boulder-bed Himalayan rivers for providing data for catchment analysis, channel stability assessment, bridge scour design and sediment management planning.
