SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENT

The sediment from waterbodies is usually collected by dredge and scoop and for deeper layer special boring machine is used. In this study samples were collected in polyethylene bags by means of scoop and immediately transported to the laboratory for further physico-chemical analysis. The processing and analysing strategies used were similar to that of soil.

The sediment sampling sites were (1) Sharavathi 1 (Nagara), (2) Sharavathi 2, (3) Sharmanavathi, (4) Haridravathi, (5) Muppane, (6) Linganamakki reservoir, (7) Hurliholé, (8) Yenneholé, (9) Valagere, (10) Nittur, and (11) Sampekai with corresponding longitude and latitude as given for water sampling sites (Table 2).
