Abstract
In this study the water samples were collected from different depth and width wise locations in Shiromoni and Raligate Point of Bhairab River in Khulna Division of Bangladesh. Using the data-set for a period of twelve months in the Bhairab River, the variability of suspended sediment concentration at different temporal scales (monthly) was analyzed. The water samples were collected in three depth wise and three width wise sections. So, each month nine water samples were collected in each site. After collecting the water samples, its PH, salinity and suspended sediment concentration were determined. The depth wise variation of suspended sediment concentration was fitted with theoretical standard distributions and the unknown coefficients are determined and compared with that of Jamuna River in Bangladesh. Using the estimated values of coefficients, the value of suspended sediment concentration for any depth of Bhairab River can be calculated for any season without performing the field measurements.
