Abstract
The present study was undertaken to determine the physico-chemical characteristics of the sediments of five channels of river Cauvery in Manachanallur and Lalgudi taluks, Tiruchirappalli. The trace metal concentrations were low and they were in order of Pb>Cr>Cu>Zn>Cd. The sediment of Koolayar channel at Thirumangalam was found to be slightly contaminated by the surface run-off followed by Panguni channel at Alangudi.
