Abstract:
Samples   of   water   and   particulate   matter   were   collected during   Dec.1986   at   various   locations   of   Tawa   River (M.P. ) On the   basis   of   observation,   chemical   and   sediment   load   supplied at   various   parts   of   the   basin   have   been   computed   and   compared to   major   rivers   of   India.   Preliminary   studies   using   X-ray   diffraction   have   been   made   on   the   suspended   sediments   to   ascertain the  nature  of  particulate  input  of  the  Tawa  reservoir.
