Abstract: During the monsoons, materials are dislodged and these materials are transported on the land surface, streams and rivers act as passage for the movement of sediments. When there is not enough energy to transport the sediments, deposition occurs. Rivers and streams carry sediment as they flow depending on the sediment supply along their course. Depending on the settling velocity, drag and lift force, these sediments are carried along the river in either suspended form or bed load. The bed load and suspended load are calculated using the formulae developed for alluvial rivers. Sediment load depends upon surface run off, which in turn depends upon rainfall.
