Sedimentological characteristics of Perumal lake Cuddalore District, Tamilnadu, South India

A thorough knowledge of sedimentary processes that cause the production, transportation and deposition in varied hydrodynamic conditions, is most important in environmental reconstruction. Size analysis of sediment is an essential requirement to understand their mechanism of transportion and deposition. Textural parameters are primarily related to made of transportation and energy condition of the transporting medium in this study it is focused on classification of grain size certain measures (Mean, Sorting, Skewnees and kurtosis) of special relevance in lake sedimentological contexts and some applications related to sediment types and bottom dynamics. Lakes provide a multitude of uses and are prime regions for human settlement and habitation. It is important to approach the grain size study of the sediments and geochemical study of the Lake sediment for planning and management of Lacustrine environment.
