Study shows a predominant direction of sediment movement towards the northeast throughout the area stretching approximately 18 km. More rapid movement is seen in the eastern part of the bay which is closer to the mouth of the Krishna river. Grain velocity is on the increase the accretion of sand material is maximum resulting in greater progradation in this section of the bay.

Abstract


Study shows a predominant direction of sediment movement towards the northeast throughout the area stretching approximately 18 km. More rapid movement is seen in the eastern part of the bay which is closer to the mouth of the Krishna river. Grain velocity is on the increase the accretion of sand material is maximum resulting in greater progradation in this section of the bay.
