“…The concentrations of solutes present in the glacier meltwaters are depend on the intensity of hydrogeochemical weathering reaction taking place at the interface of bedrock and meltwater [13,14]. Many studies have been conducted on hydrogeochemical aspects of Garhwal Himalayan glaciers meltwaters [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] but no recognized study is available on dissolved ions chemistry of the Chaturangi glacier. In this paper, we have attempted to provide a baseline data for Chaturangi glacier.…”

“…An increase in melt water could cause dilution during these seasons and therefore decrease the amount of sediment concentration. But in this case, higher sediment concentration during the monsoon could also be due to an increase in stream cross sectional area and high availability of glacier debris [26]. An increase in the SSC from morning to evening was found in the Langtang River [15].…”

“…An increase in the SSC from morning to evening was found in the Langtang River [15]. At Gangotri Glacier in the central Himalayas a direct correlation exists between SSC and discharge [26]. The poor correlation between discharge and SSC in a specific part of the monsoon is mainly due to the sudden increase in sediment concentration without a corresponding increase in discharge [12].…”

“…V.B. Singh et al (2014) have studied the seasonal variation in solute and suspended sediment load to bring out the role of geochemical weathering processes in controlling melt water chemistry at Gangotri. The possibility of modelling sediment concentration in a high altitude glacial environment of the Himalaya has not been explored so far.…”
