Dr. A. A. Khan

Abstract: The Narmada River originates at Amarkantak at an elevation of about 1057 m above m.s.l.it descends across the rugged and mountainous tract through deep and steep gorges in straight sinuous to meandering pattern over a distance of 1280 km across the middle of the Indian sub-continent to join the Gulf of Cambay in Arabian sea in Gujarat state. In Harda _Bharouche section 180 sediment samples collected from Quaternary sediments, were analysed and their statistical parameters are studied which. Revealed the presence of three domains of quaternary deposits in Narmada valley in Central India.
