Abstract
Experiments have been carried out to study sediment transport in channels which are in unsaturated conditions emphasizing on effect of infiltration using the concept that as water infiltrates, flow rate decreases fairly linearly with distance along the channel thus the capacity of flow to transport the accumulated sediment decreases and net deposition occurs. Data obtained from experiments which were carried out in a laboratory flume was used to calculate sediment transport rate, flow discharge at the outlet of the flume and bed profiles measured with and without sediment injection leads to study the effect of infiltration and aggradation with non-uniform flow conditions. Experiments were also conducted for the saturated sand and comparison of data obtained from experiments which were carried out on unsaturated sand was done and observations and analysis was done.
