Abstract
Sediment erosion is one of the most challenging circumstances for hydropower plant in Nepal and mineral content is one of the most important parameter to define sediment erosion. Different minerals have different physical properties which results into different erosion potential of each mineral type. So to estimate average erosion potential of the sediment, amount of each type of minerals in sediment sample must be known which is carried out as mineral analysis of sediment. In this paper, mineral analysis of sediment samples from different locations of existing hydropower plant was carried out to report mineral content and its variation throughout the hydropower plant. Particle count method was used to perform mineral analysis by Stereo Zoom Microscope. Mineral analysis revealed that quartz is the predominant mineral in sediments from Sunkoshi river and Sundarijal river. There is slight variation in mineral content between headworks...
