The present work deals with the sedimentation
in lake Nubia and study of grain size composition
of the lake sediments.
The decrease of the amount of the suspended
matter content can be explained easily by the
decrease of the speed of the current and consequently
the process of sedimentation.
The majority of examined sediments are very
Lo~rse si1t to very fine ~,\t, poor)y sorted to
very poorly sorted, strongly fine skewed to strongly
coarse skewed and platy to leptokurtic.
From the bottom level it is clear that a new
delta has been formed in the area south wadi Halfa.
