Abstract
The present study conducted the Kolar River basin, a tributary of the Narmada River in the Bhopal division of Sehore district, Madhya Pradesh, India, from May 2021 to June 2022 with the hope of better understanding the texture of sediment. The samples were collected from six stations using a grab sampler during the study. Using sieve analysis technique, passing percentage of soil grains is found to be 55% of Sand, 25% of silt and 20% of clay respectively. Grain size of soil types were measured to be in the range of 4.056 mm to 0.045 mm exhibiting the grain size gradation from corse sand to clay. The main objective of this study is to determine the average particle size and find their distribution pattern for the given granules by sieve analysis method.
