Sediment Transport and Solute Variation In Meltwaters of Dokriani Glacier (Bamak), Garhwal Himalaya

Suspended sediment transport and major cations and anions with discharge were monitored between 28 August and 20 September 1992 in Dokriani glacier (Bamak), Garhwal Himalaya. The hydrograph and chemograph exhibit diurnal variation reflecting the conditions of meltwater transferred to the portal through different hydrological pathways. The suspended sediment transport on diurnal time scale peaks before the discharge peak, indicating that sediment transport reacts quickly to discharge. During the observation period sediment concentration show decreasing trend with discharge.
