  • Abstract:
  • River sand is a product of natural weathering o rocks over a period of millions of years. Sand production, movement and deposition are of great concern to the engineering geologist and to the Geomorphologies, especially those cones med with river basin management, shore erosion and harbour development. A better understanding of the sand budget is necessary if the problems of river and coastal environments are to be solved. The present study mainly focused to assess the textural characterization of construction sand from the study area (South Pennar, Palar and Cauvery Rivers). Also to study the Mineralogy, Geochemistry and sedimentology of the construction sand in selected river systems and compare the geological qualities of the construction sand from various river systems in Tamil Nadu.
