Abstract

Discharge, electrical conductivity and suspended sediment concentrations of Dokriani glacial meltwater were observed from 8 May to 31 October 1994. The comprehensive database on hydrological parameters of an Indian Himalayan glacier so obtained suggests a close relationship between suspended sediment transfer characteristics and glacier drainage evolution during the 1994 ablation period.
