PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS
Rivers have a lot of energy and because they have energy, they do stuff. The
obvious things rivers do with their energy is flow but, besides this, they also transport
load, erode load and erode the channel through which they flow. Erosion is the
breaking down of material by an agent. In the case of a river, the agent is water. The
water can erode the river’s channel and the river’s load.
A river’s load is bits of eroded material, generally rocks, which the river
transports until it deposits its load. A river’s channel is eroded laterally and vertically
making the channel wider and deeper. The intensity of lateral and vertical erosion is
dictated by the stage in the river’s course, discussed in more detail here but
essentially, in the upper stage of the river’s course (close to the source of the river)
there is little horizontal erosion and lots of vertical erosion. In the middle and lower
stages vertical erosion is reduced and more horizontal erosion takes place. There are
several different ways that a river erodes its bed and banks. The first is hydraulic
action, where the force of the water removes rock particles from the bed and banks.
This type of erosion is strongest at rapids and waterfalls where the water has a high
velocity. The next type of erosion is corrasion. This is where the river’s load acts
almost like sandpaper, removing pieces of rock as the load rubs against the bed &
banks. This sort of erosion is strongest when the river is transporting large chunks of
rock or after heavy rainfall when the river’s flow is turbulent.
Corrosion is a special type of erosion that only affects certain types of rocks.
Water, being ever so slightly acidic, will react with certain rocks and dissolve them.
Corrosion is highly effective if the rock type of the channel is chalk or limestone
(anything containing calcium carbonate) otherwise, it doesn’t have much of an effect.
Cavitation is an interesting method of erosion. Air bubbles trapped in the water get
compressed into small spaces like cracks in the river’s banks. These bubbles
eventually implode creating a small shockwave that weakens the rocks. The
shockwaves are very weak but over time the rock will be weakened to the point at
which it falls apart. The final type of erosion is attrition. Attrition is a way of eroding
the river’s load, not the bed and banks. Attrition is where pieces of rock in the river’s
load knock together, breaking chunks of rock off of one another and gradually
rounding and shrinking the load.
Transportation, when a river erodes the eroded material becomes the river’s
load and the river will then transport this load through its course until it deposits the
load. There are a few different ways that a river will transport load depending on how
much energy the river has and how big the load is. The largest of particles such as
boulders are transported by traction. These particles are rolled along the bed of the
river, eroding the bed and the particles in the process, because the river doesn’t have
enough energy to move these large particles in any other way. Slightly smaller
particles, such as pebbles and gravel, are transported by saltation.
Page 13

F:\DSR DANTEWADA FINAL.docx
This is where the load bounces along the bed of the river because the river has
enough energy to lift the particles off the bed but the particles are too heavy to travel
by suspension. Fine particles like clay and silt are transported in suspension; they are
suspended in the water. Most of a river’s load is transported by suspension.
Solution is a special method of transportation. This is where particles are
dissolved into the water so only rocks that are soluble, such as limestone or chalk,
can be transported in solution. Capacity & Competence Rivers can only carry so
much load depending on their energy. The maximum volume of load that a river can
carry at a specific point in its course is called the river’s capacity. The biggest sized
particle that a river could carry at a specific point is called the river’s competence.
Deposition to transport load a river needs to have energy so when a river loses
energy it is forced to deposit its load. There are several reasons why a river could lose
energy. If the river’s discharge is reduced then the river will lose energy because it
isn’t flowing as quickly anymore. This could happen because of a lack of
precipitation or an increase in evaporation. Increased human use (abstraction) of a
river could also reduce its discharge forcing it deposit its load. If the gradient of the
river’s course flattens out, the river will deposit its load because it will be travelling a
lot slower. When a river meets the sea a river will deposit its load because the
gradient is generally reduced at sea level and the sea will absorb a lot of energy. As
rivers get nearer to their mouths they flow in increasingly wide, gentle sided valleys.
The channel increases in size to hold the extra water which the river has to receive
from its tributaries. As the river gets bigger it can carry larger amounts of material.
This material will be small in size, as larger rocks will have broken up on their way
from the mountains. Much of the material will be carried in suspension and will
erode the river banks by abrasion. When rivers flow over flatter land, they develop
large bends called meanders. As a river goes around a bend most of the water is
pushed towards the outside causing increased erosion. The river is now eroding
sideways into its banks rather than downwards into its bed, a process called lateral
erosion. On the inside of the bend, in contrast, there is much less water. The river will
therefore be shallow and slow-flowing. It cannot carry as much material and so sand
and shingle will be deposited. This is called a point bar or slip off slope. Due to
erosion on the outside of a bend and deposition on the inside, the shape of a meander
will change over a period of time. Notice how erosion narrows the neck of the land
within the meander. In time, and usually during a flood, the river will cut right
through the neck. The river will then take the new, shorter route. The fastest current,
called the thalweg, will now tend to be in the centre of the river, and so deposition is
likely to occur in gentler water next to the banks.
Eventually deposition will block off the old meander to leave an oxbow lake.
The oxbow lake will slowly dry up, only refilling after heavy rain or during a
flood. Streams lose velocity and make deposits when their gradient decreases,

when the volume of water decreases, when there is an increase in cross section,
when they encounter obstructions, or when they enter still water. They deposit
alluvial fans, alluvial cones, piedmont alluvial plains, channel fill, bars, flood
plains and deltas.

Formation is a sedimentaey sequence comprising conglomerate, sandstone and shale. Tulsi
Dongar Group considered as equivalent to the Abujmar Group is exposed to the north east and
south east of Chidpal in the eastern extent of the district. It is a volcanosedimentary sequence and
comprises meta-basalt/gabbro, sandstone and quartzite.
