The following paper is intended to evaluate the hydraulic characteristics at 1 km downstream to 12 km upstream from the Meghna Bridge in the Upper Meghna River. To see the hydraulic changes in the study reach, water level data were collected from existing automatic water level gauges and velocity and sediment concentration measurements were carried out for 12 hours tidal cycle along the pre-specified cross-section of the study reach. Data had been analyzed to see the extent of tidal range with time; variation of water level and water surface slope; changes in velocity and sediment concentration with time, distance, and depth. Flow field together with sediment concentration pattern had been evaluated. Discharge and sediment load had been computed and a correlation between them had been established.
