Pollution arising due to different anthropogenic activities is a major concern. Physical and chemical properties of river sediment are influenced by different anthropogenic activities. In the present study the samples were analysed for different physicochemical parameters using standard methods. The sediment particle size distribution indicates higher proportion of sand (sand > silt>clay). It was observed that the pH of the soils was slightly basic, ranging from 7.02-7.57. Organic carbon has a lower value ranged from 0.04-0.25%. Electrical conductivity ranged from 0.15-0.25 dSm-1, chloride content ranged from77.80-96.50 mg/kg and nitrate 3.17-5.38 mg/kg .Concentration of metals were found variable. The observed result indicated that the physicochemical properties of the sediments from the study area are not influenced by anthropogenic activities.
