The annual sediment load of the Krishna River has been shown to vary regularly with annual runoff over a 6 year period. Similar relationships have also been observed for individual regions of the basin. The quantity of sediment discharged into the Bay of Bengal does not truly reflect the actual sediment load because of the influence of upstream dams. Rates of erosion calculated for various sub-basins indicate that smaller basins erode more rapidly than larger basins. Again, annual variations exist but the erosion rate/basin area relationship is similar every year. While at the river mouth the sediments are texturally uniform, in the upstream region the relative proportions of clay silt and sand vary erratically. river mouth is perhaps due to selective sedimentation at the dam sites. The apparent homogeneity at the
