Silt content in Satluj river..
River Satluj has been carrying substantial silt load during the monsoon months
from June to September with sediment concentration exceeding 5000 ppm to
more than 50000 ppm.
The suspended sediment load corresponding to 5000 ppm in the river typically
comprises coarse particles ( more than 0.2 mm) about 17% and medium / fine
particles less than 0.2 mm about 83%.
Water flowing through Turbine is having silt content of the order of 1000 to 5000
ppm in monsoon from July-October with particle size upto 200 microns. The silt
content mostly of hard quartz (80-90%) with hardness 6 to 7 Mho.
