Abstract :

The Sraghaye - Sarnish drainage basin is located south of Mashhad with elongate shape, surface area about 71 Km2 and minor turbulence of human activities in the main channel. The Sarghaye River is mainly gravelly bed load. Grain size change toward downstream is not exponentional, it has three discontinuities and four isolated sedimentary links. These discontinuities are resulted from laterally input of coarse grain sediments from tributaries, change of lithology, change of bed slope and emergence bed rock. The isolated sedimentary links have fining trend to downstream due to hydraulic sorting and abrasion.
