Description :
The studies are restricted to the Kaswali and the Kaila alluvial fans and the scope of investigation aims at deciphering the distinctive morphometric elements of the 2 fans. The role of active tectonism that controlled the formation of the fans has been highlighted. The sedimentary facies, related fluvial processes and clast composition (size variations), length of the river channel and individual catchment and fan areas have also been described and estimated.
